Yet, SoulStice loves the unique challenge of balancing his high-powered ???day job??? and his passion for hip hop. Years of grind, development and immersion culminated in the fall of 2005 for SoulStice with the release of his debut album North by Northwest: Solid Ground. SoulStice has since been featured in XXL Magazine, The Source, URB, Scratch, Elemental, Ballerstatus.com, Allhiphop.com[/b] and most other tastemaker hip hop publications and websites. Renowned journalist Tavis Smiley has even taken an interest, dubbing SoulStice and his music as ???enlightened???outside the norm.??? SoulStice has also developed a loyal overesas fanbase, leading to several international distribution partnerships, including Universal Music and Lastrum in Japan.Sharing the stage with artists as diverse as John Legend[/b] and Wu-Tang Clan[/b] has set the proper foundation for SoulStice to shine through high-energy live performances throughout the US and Europe. SoulStice has collaborated with the legendary AZ [/b]of Illmatic fame, Cuban Link[/b], formerly of Terror Squad, and many producers, both well known and up-and-coming. As a result of his music industry experience SoulStice was invited to become also a voting member of the Recording Academy[/b] and attended the 2008 Grammy Awards this past February. Combining a soulful blend of Chicago funk and east coast boom-bap, SoulStice makes what he insists is ???commercial music??? with awareness and attitude.
