Some men are born soldiers; others go to war for that right. True Soldiers fight to uplift and liberate the oppressed. Portraits of soldiers are not just reserved for museums, history books, or news mediums such as CNN—and they aren’t restricted to the arena of traditional military service. Modern Day Soulja, a soldier of a unique breed, takes on his battles fearlessly in life’s trenches and would have it no other way. He has a sworn duty and kept promise to free and protect those suffering from mental and spiritual bondage using his vast and creative arsenal of song writing, emceeing, producing, and engineering. His faith in the Most High is the body armor he wears when stepping into the gladiator arena known as the music industry. As a boy, MDS fell in love with poetry and developed a passion for music at an early age; and despite the harsh conditions of La Puente, California, he never failed to appreciate the beauty and meaning of life. These factors have forged the dynamic and soulful hip‐hop presence you see before you today. Make no mistake: MDS is not just another “rapper.” He is an artistic poet, a spiritual warrior, and a lyrical leader, whose music, strength, and heart of gold has the Midas touch upon all those it touches. Now on a journey to create change through the power of music, Modern Day Soulja seeks to transform lives on a global scale, become a voice for the hopeless, and resurrect a vibrant energy much needed through the airwaves.
