Happy Blessed 40th Birthday to Rashad Hasan Haughton born August 6, 1977. He is the BIG FOUR OH today {8/6/17}! DID YOU KNOW: When it came time for Aaliyah to film the video for her single “4 Page Letter” Rashad would complete the video preparation within two hours while studying at Hofstra University. On the B-side of the 4PL single, Rashad recorded a song with his sister entitled “Death of a Playa”. Rashad’s first ever movie role {besides re-dubbing several of Aaliyah’s lines in QOTD due to her death in 2001} was Proud in 2004. Proud is the true story of the only African-American crew to take a Navy warship into combat in World War II, in which Rashad played the role of Naval saxophonistHank Fields. Rashad also saw the release of his first single, though it was not released in the US: “Fork In The Road” (with 1200 Techniques), which made it No. 55 on Australian Charts. Rashad would later write and direct a short file {11 minutes long} called Chrysalis in 2006. 2011 Rashad movie wrote “Love Like Aliens” for the short film “Love Like Aliens” which he also directed. 2012 Rashad’s father Michael Haughton died. Today Rashad is set to produce “Red Ash” main theme song and survives by his mother Diane Haughton.

“Come Back in One Piece” ft. DMX was released as the second single from Romeo Must Die on June 6, 2000, by Blackground Records and Virgin Records for the “Romeo Must Die” soundtrack.

The music video was directed by Little X. It was filmed in March 2000 in Yonkers, DMX’s hometown, and Mount Vernon, New York.

Speaking of DMX and the film “Romeo Must Die”: In a 2011 interview with Billboard, DMX stated that Aaliyah and Romeo Must Die’s producer Joel Silver personally asked him to be a part of the film, stating: “When I was on tour, her and Joel Silver came to my dressing room to see if I wanted to be a part of the movie”, adding: “Most people would have their people call, but she came herself. I’m like, ‘Is this a trick question? You have to ask me if I want to be in a movie with Aaliyah? Hell yeah.’ We [then] met up in Vancouver to [do] Romeo Must Die.”
