LATEST RELEASES
Album Review,
Recording Artist Guild
This release is danceable and has, electric energy, vibrancy, vigor, loads of attention to detail, and plenty of character so you can listen to it more than once and still never get bored for a second.
And endlessly fun and addictive album release that pulls you away from your surroundings and lets you escape into a different world for a chunk of time.
Similarly, alongside the deft and dexterous lyrical salvos that he fires off, it is the soulful licks, the R&B grooves, the funky choruses and the agile sonic moves that he gathers around his core hip-hop sound that make the song live up to its name. Magical indeed, a song well named.

In 2012 Dame Rashem would begin the formation of an boutique fashion mark, originally Wild Soul Boot Co. now rebranded FUTURE VINTAGE XO. The brand specializes in one of a kind shoes/bags exclusively for fans and friends that follow him.
It has since evolved into much more.
The leather apparel is handmade in Guatemala and ethically sourced world wide. Currently productions are scaled for exclusive events and international pop ups. This year we will be doing offerings in Toronto Canada and Zurich Switzerland.
The foundation is the work with the local artisan community in Guatemala on the fabrications for over 10 years. Including using the proceeds for food relief programs to local families during holidays and natural disasters.
The culture of family business and fair trade is the backbone of the fashion we create.
From shoes and bags to couture urban-wear to upcycled hand painted mixed medium denim, FUTURE VINTAGE XO represents quality, creativity and unity.
