Next Up: Meet Soul, The Hip-Hop Wordsmith

Words: Jasmine Johnson, hypefresh.

Soul is one of the dopest, rising lyricists in the game! Hailing from Memphis, TN, he has a story to tell to the world about this thing called life.

As you know, Yo Gotti, Moneybagg Yo, and Young Dolph are all from Memphis. And it’s easier to think that Soul is just another one of those rappers, but NO he is not. His verses are intriguing, and he expresses it with poetry-like concepts, reminiscent of how 2Pac crafted his songs. Mix it with a Vic Mensa swag type delivery, and you have a dangerous combination.

Soul has been persistent by putting out music rooted in topics that his fans relate to. Soul’s voice and stage presence takes his audience on a ride that captures their energy and paints a very vivid picture for consumption. As a young hip-hop rapper in the game, I feel like he would go places based on how creative his mind is and the message he puts in his music. I feel like Soul is the type of person, who is resilient, but will talk about it and grow from his mistakes.

With his most recent project out last year, he emphasized his artistry with a conceptual fixation pure talent and vulnerability, making him a standout artist in 2017!
