Search - Sole :: Live from Rome

Sole is so DOPE, don't sleep heads...

"Sole became a big player in underground hip hop when he dropped Bottle of Humans and continued his success through Selling Live Water. I would recommend both of these releases. His new release "Live From Rome" is even more socially conscious and interesting. Sole is an amazing MC, and he is surrounded by an amazing group of emcees (anticon). His music has always had the Hip hop feel to it. If you like strait unadulterated hip-hop then I would strongly recommend this album. The only reason this LP didn't receive a full 5 stars is because Selling Live Water is unbeatable and will never be matched. A MUST BUY FOR ANY ANTICON OR SOLE FAN.

Strong Anticon release

"An excellent follow-up to Selling Live Water. A great hybrid of Sole's politico-satirical ideologies along with his panache for crafting rhymes that are intentionally self-loathing. Sole succeeds in the latter regard much better than on Bottle of Humans.

"Im not one of those people who think every anticon release is awesome (the no music, why, pedestrian, passage i cant listen to) I love No more wig for ohio, dpd, them, greenball, 10 seconds, muted, I didnt even know if i liked live from rome after listening to it the first time, but something made me hit play again after it was done, it has a unique vibe(6 tracks produced by Odd Nosdam and 4 by alias). Great subway music.

I bought live from rome the same day i bought a healthy distrust, the revolution of young havoks, streets deciple, and sleepers, and Iv listened to it more than all the previous combined. now i can say i like it better than every other previous sole release, probally mostly due to the production, sensible cultural observations, and no cheesy rants like (the white man is the f_ing devil...).

Favorite track 16"
