“Non Stop” was recorded in 2011 as part of the sessions for highly regarded "The Element Of Surprise" album sessions. On par with the best moments of that album, this unreleased gem is possessed by Confidence ’s use of boomin’ drums and piano/horn stabs, fluid cuts from DJ Technic and Rashad ’s smooth lyrical delivery. The result goes down as a spiritual sibling of the 90's era Hip-Hop sound. About a month ago, Rashad & Confidence released another unreleased track titled "Feel It" . Both these tracks and the 2019 single "Desires" will be part of the 2026 remastered album version of "The Element Of Surprise" as bonus tracks. The album will be out on May 1st on all digital stores and a vinyl 2xLP vinyl version.
