Hip-hop always tries to slap a label on artists - Are you underground? Club? Conscious? What are you? - but with genre-bending new artists like Lee Wilson that kind of easy categorization is becoming increasingly difficult. Making his DJBooth.net premiere with his blues/R&B/reggae/etc. flavored new single Soul Kiss (Remix), Lee Wilson at first has all the vocal stylings of a classic soul singer, but listen closer to his harmonies and you’ll hear influences ranging from Spanish singer Marc Anthony to R&B legend Babyface. Fittingly, fellow boundary breaker Mos Def joins Wilson on the Soul Kiss, displaying the same back-to-basics rap style he displayed on his recently released album The Ecstatic. Will Wilson’s unique style translate into a hit, or does his diverse approach miss the mark? That’s up to DJBooth listeners to decide. Wilson’s new album She’s the Girl is available for download now.

As Nathan explained above, its super hard to classify Lee's work as a particular genre. One label I have a feeling he is fine with, though, is that of "impressive." This is enjoyable from start to finish.

Mos Def adds to the overall appeal. Looking forward to more work from Mr. Wilson.

Just by reading the song title, the guest feature, and the blurb, I had a feeling I would like this one. Easy on the ears, and an enjoyable outing from Lee Wilson. Mos Def came smooth on the clean up, making the way for a nice track.

This is pretty smooth. For some reason, when it came on, it sounded like something that Jay-Z could have smashed (Just an idea...I think that on Jay's next album, he should make some R&B type records like this, kinda what Ghostface is doing right now. I have a feeling if Jay did that, it would turn out much better that Ghostface's joint.)

This was a cool little joint though.

Warryn's boardwork is about as mellow as mellow gets, and its airy, jazzy groove proves a fitting backdrop for Wilson's soulful vocal stylings. Also unsurprisingly, Mos Def’s flow couldn’t be a better fit; can't do any wrong. I'm digging the record’s old-school feel good vibe. Gonna hold it down as a soundtrack for those lazy summer days.

Just a regular song on an album, tolerable, no sparks doesn't move me. It fits in with mainstream. Mos Def sounds great on the song.. gives it an extra star. Good song, promising young talent.
