Soul Khan - Someone's Pocket
Artist: Soul Khan
Producer: Audible Doctor
Album: Pursuance EP
Label: Unsigned
The #OccupyWallStreet movement has raised myriad well-founded gripes with our current system: unemployment, poor wages, crippling student loan/mortgage debt, slashed budgets and upward income redistribution. With his latest EP single Soul Khan takes a stab at condensing the message of the 99% into a neat slogan: “I don’t wanna spend my life in Someone’s Pocket.” This newly-released EP single finds Audible Doctor serving up a slow-rolling, soul-sampled beat as the Brown Bag All-Star warns listeners against playing the materialistically-motivated game of the wealthy: “Now some say when you’re living kinda lean, the end’ll justify tryin’ to live beyond your means / But if you try to lean on them, they’re like ‘We not friends,” so back up son, this sh*t is not a dream.” For his part, the freestyle series alum is too busy, and too grateful to engage in any recession-inappropriate stunting—just in case, though, he asks fans to “slap me if I’m ever droppin’ hundreds on a style.” If this down-to-earth banger leaves you craving more, you’ll find what you seek on Khan’s Pursuance EP, dropping on the sixth. NYC residents can also get a free download of the project by purchasing a ticket to his Dec. 3 show, which The DJBooth is sponsoring.

Soul Khan's latest is rooted in soul, blues, jazz and dopeness. More, please?

Been a fan of Soul Khan since his first feature on here. He gets increasingly better each time I hear a new song of his. Also, his old rap battles are hilarious.

I like the beat. Soul Khan was pretty good on here. Never heard of him before, but this is a great intro. Better than most stuff on the radio...Nice chorus.
