Rachid (prototype)

I've bought this cd back when it came out,in 1996 or 1997.This guy could sang and his album is very interesting and inspiring.He reminds me so much of TTD in a way.I remeber Rachid relaseing "pride" as a single,and even had a video,after that I never heard of him anymore.I'm not sure of any interviews or performances, anyone have any info? Please respond.Thank u butterfly wink

Essence I knew I could not be the only one,that paid attention to this album.I'm so happy to know that. biggrin Maybe people were more after his looks,then his artistry?.Hopefully he will drop another album soon,and in the eyes of the media,this album will do better. butterfly

He echoes Maxwell to me and if nothing else he'll go down in history for the only song about giving a sperm donation at a clinic? hehe

As the son of Robert "Kool"'s son, I was highly disappointed in this. I wish I had never found that out about him.

Well Robert changed his name to Khalis Bayyan so I assume Rachid's surname is that rather than Bell.
