Portland, Oregon - Standout hip hop newcomer Soul P. is gearing up for the follow-up album to his breakthrough debut, The Premiere. Due for release early this summer, Soul P. says his next album, to be titled The King's Empire, will be driven with a lot of emotion and honesty. There will be a piece of me delivered to all of those who listen to this record that I hope will be inspirational. Signed to general market label, Liquid Assets Records, Soul P. also hopes being in a scene where there is not a lot of light, [he] can do [his] best by God's grace to be that light, and have an impact on a wider audience.
The Premiere, which was released in December 2006, received rave reviews and ranked in the Top 10 for R&B/Hip Hop sales for 10 weeks on the CMTA Nielsen SoundScan chart. In Billboard.biz, Gordon Ely wrote: This stunning debut reveals a top-tier hip-hop artist, already both a master and innovator of his genre . . . Strong stuff and a whale of a ride start-to-finish. allmusic.com said: One of the rare explicitly religious hip-hop artists who potentially has a mainstream career waiting for him whenever he wants it. |
