RapMusic.com Review of Pursuance

Soul Khan is a lot of things. A popular retired battle rapper, viral video/Reddit star, MTVU mainstay, your drunken polisci-majoring RA…but what he’s been most lately is on a roll.

Eschewing the standard multiple-mixtape release hustle, the Cali-bred Brooklyn transplant recently released the third in a series of stylized conceptual EPs, each titled in tribute to suites from John Coltrane’s legendary release A Love Supreme. Following last spring’s Acknowledgement and this fall’s Resolution is Pursuance, an EP that continues Soul’s tradition of humanist boom-bap with an irreverent slant and enough playful wit to make the medicine go down. The 6-track release is, as always, produced in-house with Brown Bag All-Star members J57 and Audible Doctor, and comes with a free download of “Mr. Governor,” a heartfelt indictment of capital punishment and recent execution of Troy Davis.

Livin' A Good Life with @LIVEAGL

Want to give the blog, Live A Good Life a shout out for posting and writing about the Lost Ones video. Mister P writes:

This video made me laugh. Soul Khan has bars for days it seems. I was really skeptical and I really didn’t think it was Lauryn Hill’s version he would be freestyling over. Read more

Thanks To DJ Booth For The Feature

Founder of what would become the largest contiguous empire in the history of the world, Genghis Khan is, to this day, synonymous with “fearsome conqueror.” Thus far, Booth fave Soul Khan hasn’t shown that kind of ambition, instead focusing on cultivating an ardent underground following—but perhaps he was simply biding his time...
