Biography

There is at least, two artist/bands called Chapter 13:
1) a rap duo (rashid hadee & young valentine)
2) a synth pop band previously known as The Marble Index.

Ignoring the gimmicky formulas of commercial rap, and stale “keep it real” clichés of the underground environment, Chapter 13 brings some thing fresh to the table. Rashid Hadee and Young Valentine combine soul piercing wit, hard edge confidence and innovative beat production, which reminds listeners of the “Golden Era” of Hip-Hop.

Heavily influenced musically by the soul of his father who passed in 1998, and his Uncle, both talented musicians in their own right, Rashid uses this inspiration plus the real life lessons learned on the gritty Chicago streets to formulate a mic presence that is easily relatable. From tagging graffiti on walls to waking up to the ice-cold “hawk” of the Windy City in his Hyundai Elantra, Rashid passionately recounts tales of life in Chicago while overcoming personal demons and obstacles. The talented producer has laced tracks for MCs such as Common Sense and Special Ed and is working on Abstract Mindstate’s mix tape with guest appearances by Kanye West.

With the perfect mix of arrogance and confidence, Young V, hailing from Jackson, MI, brings that Dirty South bred flavor to the mix. Never limiting himself to making over hype crunk for the club beats, Valentine is able to incorporate many facets of Hip-Hop into a style that is unique and ground-breaking.
