About Sean Rasul
Sean Rasul is an independent artist from Chicago, Illinois. Born and raised on the city's West Side (Division and Central), his journey began "back in the day" when he would freestyle with friends on inner-city blocks. He has since written countless songs and poems and has performed spoken word pieces on stages in the United States and Japan. His musical and inspirational seeds have been planted as far as the United Kingdom, France, and Germany. He has shared stages with Fat Joe, Chamillionaire, Slim Thug, Bone Thugs-n-Harmony, and The Ying Yang Twins.
Sean draws inspiration from his ancestors, his experiences, the successes and failures of others, places he's been, and from studying life, using that inspiration to paint a picture. Like it or not, he puts the picture on display. His success is defined by the mere fact that he is actually doing what he loves.
Rasul released his debut album, The Showcase (Country Cool Records) in March of 2005. The album was produced entirely by Grammy Award winning songwriter and producer Madukwu Chinwah, who also created hits for Erykah Badu, N'Dambi, and many others. The album was an inspiring effort that blended old and new school musical elements and featured wonderful spoken word poetry, hip-hop, and smooth urban grooves.
Sean Rasul's most recent album, Ghetto Child (Live Root/WRIMG) features progressive hip-hop, street poetry, and soulful/experimental jams. The album's breakout single "Champion" recently featured on season 1 of MTV's reality series "Taking The Stage." With guest appearances from Big Sid & LD of Playaz Choice, Rasul proteges Neri & Alexis, KaDi of Kinetic Soul Entertainment, and solid production from Texas producers Chinwah (Dallas), Michael Duque (Austin), Yung Chill (Houston), and German-based Kemo of Evocators, Ghetto Child demonstrates significant growth for the driven and determined artist.
A series of brand new singles are anticipated in 2010 as Rasul prepares to release his third studio album. In February of 2010 he released Free (Live Root/WRIMG) which deals with having the courage to sacrifice in order to follow dreams and achieve freedom. His next single entitled Higher (Live Root/WRIMG) is scheduled to be released in July of 2010. The song deals with the search for a better condition by continuing to reach for greater heights. A testimonial of sorts for Sean Rasul who seems to be stepping his game up with each release.
