NEW RELEASE: Soul Khan "Wellstone"


I have every project Soul Khan has put out since Soul Like Khan. For me, it's a no brainer to cop whatever Soul Khan is pushing because he's built the reputation for putting quality where his mic is (pause? Ha). He's the king of EPs, dropping three last year and partnering up with DJBooth to drop his first of the year. With production from fellow Brown Bag AllStar member Deejay Element, Soul Khan serves up the quality Hip-Hop he's become known for on Wellstone. Enjoy. Chea!
