This event promises to be a great time for everyone who attends! There will be drink and dinner specials!

12/11/08 Everything is done, and the CD will be available for mail order and digital download right here on 12/11! 9/22/08 Update Soul Daddy has just finished up a new song with the inimitable Jean Grae! (Have you ever tried to say "inimitable" several times in a row? Not easy....) Jean Grae was a last minute addition to the album, and now with the appearances of both her and Elzhi from Slum Village on the album, Soul Daddy has had the honor of working with 2 of his favorite emcees putting it down these days! Mastering is still happening, and there's rumors of an album release party in Denver in November. Check back for updates! 9/10/08 Update At long last, The album is FINISHED! It's being mastered, and then it's off to be replicated so you can get it! Also soon, free downloads, ring tones, and a new book! And hey, if you're in the Denver area, come check Soul Daddy out at Dazzle jazz club, where he hosts an open mic every other Wednesday (alternating with poet Dan Robinson). There's a live jazz band that accompanies everyone with improvised music. All poets, hip-hop cats and anyone with something meaningful to say are welcome!  6/16/08 Update So...it appears that famous people have busy schedules. Who'd have imagined? Soul Daddy has just recorded a song with Elzhi from Slum Village, which is being mixed now, and we are working on one more guest appearance before we send the album off to be mastered. But, of course this means another delay. We're not even gonna put a date on it. We're just gonna say: "SOON!" Thanks for your patience and enthusiasm, and don't forget to get the free download on the "Hear Soul" page! 5/15/08 Update I know, I know the masses are fiending for the new album. Or at least we are.  Unfortuntely, because we're trying to negotiate a few guest appearances, we had to push the album release date back, but we expect the end result will be an even better product. Bear with us, though. It'll be worth it! As a consolation, on the "Hear Soul" page, we've posted a couple of mixtape songs by Soul Daddy for FREE DOWNLOAD! (Free is my favorite price, how about you?) Enjoy it and come back soon! Thanks! |

A Safe Place.
New Album soon! How did this album come to be? It's the simple story of a man with an idea. Once, after watching hours of rap videos, Soul Daddy thought to himself: “You know, there aren’t enough songs out there representing that real thug ****! Where are the stories of spinning rims and drug slanging? Who will speak for the hood soldiers and big-booty bikini models?” Who indeed? Saddened by the fact that these groups did not have a voice in music, Soul Daddy decided that he would champion their cause; speaking up on their behalf. Thus began his journey, as he joined forces with his friend Micah Ortega (formerly of Five Iron Frenzy). Together, they set out to create an album for the people who want to keep it hood. This was his goal, and with Micah’s help, he failed miserably! Instead of real thug ****, this album is full of stories about true life and love; themes that move the heart and touch the soul. Filled with witty lyrics, thoughtful storytelling, and uncommon production, A Safe Place features talented musicians who have all contributed to making the album a total life experience. This is hip-hop; the music of the streets, of the heart, mind and soul, with a generous dose of stealthy wit thrown in for good measure. This is Soul Daddy. (Soul Daddy offers his apologies, and promises to work on thinking up more ways to talk about diamond bracelets and “blasting punk-*** snitches”. In the meantime, we encourage you to enjoy the depth and moving complexity of this new album.) |
