Hailing From Columbus, Ohio, Rashad Thomas invested years in building a career in music, and from a young age he earned acclaim as an R&B singer, landing his first record deal at age 13, and subsequent major label deals with RCA, Columbia and Universal. In 2002 Universal tested the waters with a promo release of 'Good Luv', and they followed this in 2003 with 'Sweet Misery', both of which were taken from his proposed debut album 'Elevator Music'. The record was to feature guest appearances by Jadakiss, Sheek Louch, Lone Catalysts affiliate P.A. Flex and 106 & Park battle rapper Posta Boy, but as both singles failed to make any impact on the Billboard charts, the album was cancelled by Universal and has remained in the vaults ever since. Thomas is still involved in music, and produced Jack Harlow's album 'Jackman' as recently as 2023, but as I've mentioned before, some of these cancelled albums are too good to stay hidden, and this is a case in point, so here is Rashad's debut long-player, 'Elevator Music', from 2003.
