The late DJ Rashad’s 2013 debut album, the Chicago footwork classic Double Cup, is getting a 10th anniversary reissue on December 8 via Partisan. The new edition features artwork by Rashad’s friend, illustrator and photographer Ashes57, and it’s getting a limited-edition gold vinyl pressing. Below, check out the video of “Last Winter,” previously a CD-only rarity from the album, featuring clips of Rashad in the studio.
“Rashad and I knew that this was our opportunity to showcase on a broader level,” DJ Spinn said in a statement. “We wanted to make sure we included all the guys in the recording. It was really like a posse album for the most part, [introducing] DJ Earl, DJ Phil, Manny, myself, Taso…. We knew that we wanted stuff strictly for Chicago, and we wanted stuff for the people overseas to relate to. We just wanted to have a rounded-out project.”
Check out Pitchfork’s “The 200 Best Albums of the 2010s,” featuring Double Cup at No. 20.
