| ____________________ABOUT SOULOGIK___________________

| | | Soulogik is a transcontinental hip-hop artist who stems from a somewhat unknown African country named Mozambique. Starting from a young age, the rapper was blessed to live in various parts of the world such as Zimbabwe, South Africa, The United Kingdom (London), and the United States (DC Metropolitan) where he has been since 2003. Now, embracing his favorite art form, he wishes to share his worldly views from a diplomatically affiliated perspective, and he does so through songs which display poignant, yet insightful lyrics that are bent on making a difference in the world and also re-establishing independent thought where apathy and blind acceptance have become a custom. Consequently, being from the ever tumultuous African continent, he has taken on a rebellious but calculated persona to get his message of freedom and peace to audiences any and everywhere.
Although it was important for him to uphold his father's political integrity, the hip-hop bug crept into him during the early era of the show "Yo! MTV Raps". It grew within him, and later inspired him to not only wear the iconic "Tim boots" and baggy jeans, but to also investigate the meaning of the stories told by Nas, Ice Cube, Arrested Development, and others who portrayed communities that had been jaded by bad politics. That sparked his interest to later follow both his father's and his oldest brother's footsteps in reading history, psychology, and philosophy books, all while borrowing whatever he could from his brother's understanding of hip-hop and urban poetry. That said, Soulogik is an individual who is focused on thinking outside of the many boxes society imposes on us using music and poetry as his weapons of choice.

| As far as available material, in late 2007 to 2008, Soulogik distributed a few copies of his first mixtape "Urban Elements" and received good feedback from it. Much to his surprise, people could actually relate or sympathize with the stories he recited on the record. The only problem then was the cheap audio quality and lack of P.R. that made him quit for a while. But remembering how his small release was received motivated him to try a new strategy that lead up to the conception of "Higher Unlearning" his latest project which has been in the works for over 3 years and is currently being mastered and finalized. This project, as of now tentatively titled, counts on the participation of several producers (Nel Sentimentum, Dario, Laudz, Elevation, Moshae, AlOnTheBeat, etc.) to whom he reached out because their sounds complemented his deep-rooted approach to music. Basically, Higher Unlearning boasts a more entertaining, yet serious tone than all of Soulogik's mixtapes up to date and focuses on delivering its thematic message. As for the now, listen to him on the InVerse TangENT collective project titled "The Reality Tape (Download)"
