Bio
Esteemed as one of Long Beach and Orange County's premier golden calf's of hip hop and funk, Sol-T has commanded respect on the stage long before his days on the mic. Having toured majorly through So. Cal - Hollywood and Orange County - venues as a show-stopping pocket-funk bass player in his early teens as a young Angelino, Sol-T is said to have been raised by drunken and whore-hungry ..Sunset-Strip.. club owners, and watched all his Saturday morning cartoons through his tragically-smoove audience's eyes. Whether in the vocal booth at Buttasopht Studios, or live on stage with his prodigious band, The StreetFevers backing him, Sol-T remains keeps the bottle light and his foot heavy on the throttle for velvet in 2008. Mixing street-savvy dialect and Father Time intelligence with gutter-quick delivery and classic Slick Rickesque story-telling in his raps, Sol-T has attracted a wide array of producers and musicians to his projects over the years, and the list keeps getting bigger Billboard-graced producer Jud Nester, Psytrip/Electro producer Schlaut, and Hawaiian Island page-oner, Skrewfase Elle.., have all produced for Sol-T, who remarkably produced most of his debut full-length album, The Great Angelino Secret on his own. While Sol-T had several mixtape CD's, collaborations, and demos in circulation, the full-length, 15-track recording was finished at Earth Tone Studios, under the cold pimp-hand of producer and Columbia recording artist/engineer, Michael Raphael in early 2006. Delivering solid cadence, catchy rhymes, hooks reminiscent of the music's swanky Funkadelic era, as well as bona fide cinematics laced throughout his flow, Sol-T has linked up with ..Abstract Workshop.. DJ/Turntablist/Producer, DJ Cocoe, with the upcoming release of his second and third LP's – "Oranje Crusche: Goodbye, Los Angeles..." as well as another self-produced project he's dubbed "Nickel Slots & Dollar Shots (Memoirs from the Thirsty Desert)," both of which Sol has already released first singles for through his ..Buttasopht Musilk label.
