Search - Soso :: Birthday Songs

This is the most sad and beautiful hip hop in the world. Soso locates his work in a cold and desolate place - the middle of nowhere. An artist, writer and beatsmith from Saskatchewan, Canada, his music is unapologetic and decidedly homemade. Cutting his production teeth on a vintage Akai S900 sampler, Soso has been knocking out distinctive beats with that low end thump since the mid 90's. Lifting old drums and melodic bits from his expansive (and expanding) collection of used vinyl, Soso has been chopping and assembling beats, developing his unique sound and earning the respect of the independent hip hop community. A capable writer, his sincere lyrics have been embraced by hip hop heads and the music savvy alike. Informed by culture and place, Soso spins narratives that interweave family and social histories with landscape and weather. His songs are personal and refreshingly honest.
