“Young sole” is the lead single from sole’s upcoming
release, A Ruthless Criticism Of Everything Existing. Produced
by Canadian super producer Factor, “Young Sole” is a shit talking
summer anthem that lays the sonic and ideological foundation for the
album. “Enough with the fucking fashion show, say something real... life
is too short to kiss rings,” and “10,000 years from now they’re gonna dig us
up, and say no wonder these cats went extinct” sums up sole to a
T. The world is still on fire, the fire is spreading, and sole is bringing
the kerosene.
Although sole has been railing against everything anti-human
for over a decade, his anti-capitalist, anarchistic worldview has been
emboldened by his involvement with the occupy movement. A
Ruthless Criticism Of Everything Existing, is the title of a Marx Essay,
stressing that the critique needed to extend beyond the economy, to the roots
of ideology itself and beyond. A.R.C.O.E.E. takes that discussion
to heart.
It is sole’s first solo album since “Live From Rome” was
released almost 7 years ago. After the critical success of “Hello Cruel
World,” and the Nuclear Winter series, sole has honed his song writing to
strike the perfect balance between social commentary, humor, and far-left-rap
anthems. In 2010 sole left the anticon label he founded in 1998, citing
“ideological business differences.” Since then, he has re-released his
music on his black canyon label and played a central role
with the new indie music powerhouse Fake Four Inc. A.R.C.O.E.E. continues
to push the mainstream rap aesthetic into more uncharted, unpredictable,
& unconventional territory. This album is slated for
release in October and is being funded via kickstarter.
