The SoloS Unit is an energetic live music experience that fuses elements of Hip Hop and Soul to create a vibrant landscape upon which rides a positive, empowering message. The SoloS Unit has been knocking out crowds up and down the east coast with the one-two combo of "raw-dog emceeism" and "take flight" vocals backed by a blazing live band.
"…we break beats for communion…"
SoloS has performed with The Roots, Wu Tang Clan, Common, Camp Lo, Capadonna, The Gap Band, Ghostface Killah, Guru's Jazzmatazz, George Clinton and many other highly esteemed artists. Their new album features the bass playing of Oteil Burbridge, of the Allman Brothers and Aquarium Rescue Unit and Luther Vandross drummer Ivan Hampden along with many other special guests. The Unit has received many accolades for their incredible live performances.
"…certified bounce technicians…"
The SoloS Unit was born from a Monday night jam session at a popular night club in downtown Winston-Salem. The once informal jam session grew to become the hottest weekly show in town, running over three years. The SoloS Unit has since released three records and a live DVD. The group has toured extensively in North Carolina and the southeast and has most recently begun to venture north spreading its unique flavor all over the east coast. Ed Bumgardner from Relish recently wrote:
"…spontaneous-sounding music that builds a sturdy bridge between various musical styles and ideas. It is music that leaps forward. The MCs are witty, gifted and smart, each offering a distinct approach that shifts between high-quality R&B singing to psychedelicized street-smart rhymes. The playing is understated but dazzlingly executed as it bumps from cool-riff funk to textural jazz and then to pure hip-hop groove."
"…on a mission to bring light to the third eye…"
With musical influences that run the gamut from Bach to Pete Rock, the SoloS Unit leaves no musical stone unturned. Break-beats, funked-out disco, silky smooth soul, and heavy hip-hop beats are combined with the versatile emceeing of Renaissance and Mr. Mo'Halyn. Renaissance brings a prizewinning slam-poetry emcee style, having proven himself at a national level recently receiving a world slam poetry ranking. Mo'Halyn brings seasoned soul vocals, as well as an incredible flow that leaves challengers gasping.
