Soul from the O, the Oakland-based rapper known for his lyricism and thought-provoking music, has released his new album “Queens and Pharaohs”
The album is a 10-song journey through love, loss, and hope. It features the singles "Own It All" feat. Durand Bernarr and "On My Way," feat Lalin St. Juste - which have been praised for their powerful messages and catchy melodies.
Queens and Pharaohs is a tribute to Soul from the O's parents. The album's cover features a collage of his parents as high school sweethearts, while interludes within the record feature their life lessons. Tragically, his mother passed away just after the album's completion, giving rise to the tribute track "4 When We Meet Again." This personal loss cemented the decision to center the album around his parents' legacy.
"This album is my way of honoring my parents and the love and wisdom they shared," said Soul from the O. "It's also a message of hope for anyone who has lost someone they love, or is faced with other life challenges."
