Press / Reviews
“They say happy wife, happy life. Well, local rapper "Shadcore” turned that message into a rap song. You may know Shadcore from the local hip hop band, TRC but now, the lead rapper is breaking off and doing his own thing as well. His lyrics are profanity free and always has a message of purpose. ”
“Author and hip-hop artist Rashad "Shadcore" Harrell does what most artists never do: He invites readers on an intimate journey through his unique creative process that culminates in an album. Think: reflection, songwriting, collaboration, production, and everything in between! Each chapter of "I Left a Mess in There" is dedicated to a song on his album of the same name, so you get the backstory of what inspired the songs, why he made certain choices, relationships with collaborators, technical points, and so much more. I already respected Shadcore for the incredibly talented artist that he is, but this book adds such a depth of humanity. He also challenges us, the readers, to "keep it moving," not to give up, to try something new, and to do rather than plan to do. As he presses on, he encourages us to do the same. Be sure to listen to the songs before reading their respective chapters. Get ready to be inspired!” - Nurse Barb
