notes

The idea of ‘ underground hip hop ‘ almost seem unjust. So much lyrical

talent goes unrecognized, because artists aren’t interested in accumulating

absurd amounts of ‘’ bling ‘’ or Cristal. Instead, they’re about making honest

statements and constructing melodies to complement their poetic thoughts.

However, these artist are probably considered ‘’ underground ‘’ for a reason,

with their music symbolizing buried treasure.

With that in mind out of Petersburg, VA , perplexing rhymes and symp-

honic melodies are being tightly composed and well delivered underground.

Behind these down-to-earth sounds is hip hop/ soul group Soul Logistics.

Soul Logistics is a hip hop / soul coalition gear to bring back some substance

and creativity to the music world. A brain child of Doug Evans [ formally of the

group Bu Bonic Plague ] Soul Logistics was formed in mid 2006 , when Doug

called up long time friend/emcee Link Haze [ Guillotine X ,U.F.C ] with a idea

of recording a super side project together with songwriter, producer, and

performer Rodney [ the soul singer ] Stith. On March 2 , 2007 the group drop

there mixtape/compilation ‘’Soul Logistics Radio ‘’ fans looking for a group

that abuses the words ending in ‘’ izzle ‘’ should probably steer clear of

Soul Logistics, that unless they’re willing to crossover into a respected realm

of spoken word, thought-provoking lyrics and placid instrumental orchestration.

  • Keep Thinkin !!! review of holy lockdown .....
    author: KZEN

    deep thoughts like this one a lot, deep subject matter, might be a touchy one tho, especially in your country, u lot luv u sum god over there. Definately gives the listener a lot to think about. Its delivered well, and the production although simple gives the lyrics space a decent enough backdrop. nice track blud, keep thinkin! - KZEN London, United Kingdom

  • Won't go anywhere !!! review of E.M.C.E.E ...
    author: Overdose779

    this is hot my man Im feeling preety much everything about it...production mix master and flow are perfect.In terms of industry...this probably wont go anywhere for the fact that the hip hop game is watered down with wack shit and they try to lock this music out...wich is sad because this is real hi hop!!! - overdose779 Tobyhanna, Pennsylvania May 20th, 2007

  • Games !!!!
    author: erica

    very interesting music in the beginning, nice voice of the child as well. nice lyrics but your "spidey sense" that was pretty funny yet not as serious as the rest of the song. very nice story i enjoyed it a lot erica

  • '' games people play ''
    author: sidreynoldz

    I don't normally like rap, but this is good! This type of piano line catches my attention right away, the drums go perfectly with it. The child speaking was a wonderful touch, the rap vocals are really good aswell. The production is really well done, I have no complaints in that department other than that I could've gone for a prominent bassline. This song builds in a NAS-esque style. I don't know much about rap but the lyrics (or "rhymes") are pretty good aswell - sidreynoldz

  • '' Games People Play '' smooth , sad , & real
    author: Veasy

    Very first thought at the end of the first listening: "Amen" Well done. The sound is great, very clean, balanced. I dig the piano loop. Please, tell that kid I said he (she?) did an awesome job with the opening dictionary definition. Very well spoken, clear and articulate. I note this because I have recorded with children and they often trail off and start mumbling. This kid got it perfect. The rest, the story being told, is also quite well done. The music gives a creeping, incremental feel, moving along like the story itself progresses - inch by nervous inch. The voice is beautiful, strong, angry, each word a precise jab. The lyrics... Was it really a man who wrote this? A man who recognizes his hypocrisy in the game when he decides to call the other out? huh. Remarkable. I easily imagined a video for this while it played. The ending spinning out of control, the cherries flashing through the window in the dark as he stands there. Waiting to face it like a man. Smooth. Sad. Real. Extra Credit: Male Vocals, Production, Lyrics, Mood. - Veasy

  • Definitely raises an eyebrow !!!
    author: Hip Hop Linguistics

    Review - "Soul Logistics Radio": We don't get a lot of mixtapes these days. And to be completely honest with you, I think I know why. Mixtapes are very difficult to make well. In most situations, you have a bunch of producers handling the bulk of the beatmaking, and like twenty emcees taking turns flowing over the various tracks. This often causes a lack of consistency and continuity within an album because either: A.) the producers try too hard to make individual tracks to fit the vocal talents of each of the featured emcees, thus succeeding only in creating a jumbled mess of music, or B.) the producers stick to their own creative directions, and only a couple of the emcees end up sounding good over beats they have had little to no creative input with. However, every once in a while, I'll come across a mixtape that seems to do both successfully. Doug Evan's "Soul Logistics Radio" is the most recent example. This album experiments with a wide range of production, handled by maybe ten individual producers, yet maintains a great sense of continuity. It also features many different emcees, most wielding their own individual styles and flows, yet all seem to fit near-perfectly with the song on which they've been featured. And as I mentioned earlier, that's difficult to do well in most any scenario. The Soul Logistics crew does a great job creating a twenty-plus track album that, while consisting of a countless number of individual artists, still manages to push a similar direction and stance to the listener. The sounds range from old-school to overwhelmingly soulful, and provide a great example of what can be done with a mixture of hip-hop, soul and R&B elements. "Soul Logistics Radio" is an enjoyable listen that definitely raises an eyebrow or two, and should serve as an effective prelude to the solo projects of all artists involved. I recommend checking it out. Peace. -------------------------------------------------

  • Conscious Hip Hop isn´t dead
    author: Twoo-3

    This CD is definitely a burner and it proves that nowadays it is still possible to combine conscious lyrics with good music. Doug Evans & the Soul Logistics Cew put out an amzong album. It´s an awesome underground release which would be the talk of the town if it was released on a major label. Not only that it presents conscious lyrics )which most of us do rarely hear in nowadays hip hop music) it although presents a lot of styles. and as one or another might remember this what Hip Hop is mostly about : Styles & Consciousness. The CD brings you tracks for any occasion. Some laid back soulful tracks like Better days, some sureshot dancefloorfiller like E.M.C.E.E. & Gift Of Gab Remix as well as tracks to bang in our car (or my bus ride). I am usually more the vinyl type of guy but i give all the advice to get that CD soon or someday in the future you will have to dig deep for it. And by the way i don´t think it will come for 8 bucks in a few years from now.

  • Thanks for being a individual !!!
    author: M.A.C

    The genius returns, I think this album soul logistic radio covers every area of hip hop. The soul ballads are banging and the party joints give you bass line that grove plus gut checking lyrics that gives you one to grow on. In this day of follow the crowd lyrics were drugs and vanity is the meat of every song it refreshing to know that we all dont think alike. Thanks for being a individual.

  • '' Substance & Creativity ''
    author: John Book of Music For America

    Soul Logistics are a hip-hop coalition out of Virginia founded by Doug Evans, who some may remember as a member of the group Bu Bonic Plague. Evans is about to stir things up just a bit more with Soul Logistic Radio, which is one-part mix tape, one part compilation. Subtitled Giving Inspiration Plus Information. They say they want to "bring back substance and creativity back to the music world". Not just hip-hop, but the music world. Do they do this? Indeed. One common theme running in and out of the tracks is the fight against ethnic and social injustice, or simply wanting respect without going through the stereotypical loopholes that were in existence for centuries long before any of us were born. You'll hear this in tracks such as "Take A Chance", "Ghetto's Lost", and "Give Peace A Chance". What you'll also hear is a nice blend of hip-hop and soul, and neither is watered down. A lot of times you'll hear rappers trying to crossover a bit with singers who can't sing, and it fails miserably. With this group, they cover both sides equally with the kind of attention to detail that one would be able to detect on similar projects of the past. The only song that I didn't quite get into was "Power Of Word", vocalized by someone who goes by the name of Human. The song is about the power of words, and yet the pace seems to stutter a bit, and fails in its effectiveness. The album closer, "Tha Cronkite!!!", which features Doug Evans along with Link Haze and Spec, establishes what this crew is about, but I would have preferred a better vocal mix. A better final mix could turn it into something with a much bigger impact. Soul Logistic describes a collective and perhaps a mindstate, and a necessary revision of what hip-hop has become.

  • review of EMCEE
    author: God Father E

    don't let emceeing come to an end This is hot. The music and beat are cool--they remind of something out of the 60s. This song has me bobbing my head. The emcees are beautiful. I had to rewind and keep playing this track. I like how he they are bascially saying an emcee is who he is, what he is for life. This is a direct and indirect homage to real hip hop. The lyrics are fresh. I have nothing bad to say about this song. Like he said, the art of emceeing is coming to an end--you one of the groups that can fight that. I like how this has a peformance, live feel to it, but the production is still on point and ready for the radio. cop the cd !!!!

  • soul logistics in heavy rotation

  • The Food
    author: V!RTU (Hip-Hop Anchor)

    SWEET, I get to be the first to say, this is the Food!! If you're a hungry Hip-Hop Head like myself, then you will definitely appreciate this album. The emcees successfully capture lyrical skill and (relevant issue) awareness and gracefully present it to the listener over addicting beats. This is an album that will stay in rotation for quite some time. At this price, anyone should be putting this in their cart as soon as your done reading this review. Allow yourself to be the beneficiary of all the efforts and man hours put into this disk. The styles are dope, the beats are dope! Buy this disk, it's CHEAP, and it's good!!
