On the outskirts of the in-crowd sits a group of extremist. Excluded from the “cool” clique but far too esteemed to be considered outcasts; the MisFits. Fresh Soul, “Public Misfit number 1”, simply put is musically impressive, thought-provoking and genuinely enjoyable for anyone with an ear. With unscripted calculated lyrics drenched in a southern drawl infested melodic tone; the music seems to travel from your earlobes into your heart; sending you into the deepest corners of your mind. The sound is foreign; definitely in a field of its own. Whoever gets stuck labeling the official genre of Fresh Soul is in for a real dilemma because to call it rap seems to be an understatement; but there’s far too much pain and range in the content to throw an R&B label on him as well. He describes his sound as, “M&S” (melody and soul). Born in Winter Haven, Florida to a Baptist pastor and a school teacher, Soul grew up in a cross between multiple worlds. The allure of the streets on one side, education and scholastic pursuits and religion on the other. Needless to say, he tried them all. The sound is young and fresh but the mind of the artist is ancient and wise. I don’t think we will ever look back and regret giving this scarred, marketable rebellious thinker his rightful spot amongst the greats. He’s the one we didn’t plan for; but we’re glad he came!
