Like a mixed martial artist, Souleye rhymes with an artful ferocity like he's eloquently dancing between words, sounds, and silence, intuitively and spontaneously landing each sick beat and verse in a rhythmically mesmerizing flow. Souleye’s brilliantly crafted rap lyrics are a tapestry of cosmic consciousness woven with the everyday realities of life. Like a well-lubricated twin-clutch, Souleye can just as effortlessly and swiftly shift from observational daily musings to mystic rumination, reflecting on past life events while mindfully meditating on the present, and contemplating the mysteries of the future and the beyond. Growing up in New England the acclaimed hip-hop artist had a fascination with hip hop music going back to his childhood. At the dawn of the 90s, Souleye would jump off his school bus, hightailing it home to catch the latest episode of ‘Yo! MTV Raps,’ capturing them all on his boombox to listen to later. Souleye credits his mother with gifting him his very first rap album, Rap Beginnings – Volume I. By his mid-teens, Souleye began freestyling and writing his first songs. A few years later, Souleye released his debut album, Soul Sessions, with underground artist Campaign. Since then Souleye has released nearly a dozen dynamic albums. Souleye’s forthcoming album, Disguised As Tomorrow, follows his other recent albums, including 2021’s hunting teardrops, 2019’s Soul School, 2017’s Wildman, 2015’s Shapeshifting, and 2013’s Iron Horse Running.
