It’s Rashad needed more of the straightforward country tunes that RVSHVD does so well, and “Dope Boy,” the first single from the deluxe edition of his album, fully delivers on that. The production on this reminds me, of all things and I couldn’t be more delighted to say this, of Tanya Tucker’s “It’s A Little Too Late.”

Country Universe

The longest-running country music blog, Country Universe was founded on and remains committed to the fact-based notion that country music has never been the exclusive purview of artists who are straight, white, Christian, Southern, and (mostly) men. When focusing on either the genre's history or its present, CU takes a "big tent" approach to the broader country universe and believes that a foundation of empathy makes country music an essential part of our shared popular culture.
