Soulja Corleone Drops "He Has Rizen 2" Project

Soulja Corleone is back with a new project for 2018. The rapper has been silent since late 2017, when he and Down East Music Group artist Will Boy was supposed to drop a collaborative project entitled "Southern Soul & Dope Cuts" with DJ Marksman. But, it seems talk of that project died down between the few, and never dropped.

Since then Soulja Corleone has been silent on all social media fronts until a couple months ago when he posted "#HHR2" on his social media platforms, but at the time it was just something random to those paying attention. Following that hashtag Soulja updated his social media accounts two more times. Posting "The only king to leave his throne, and claim it back. #HHR2" and "Recording for #HHR2 has wrapped up, time for mixing."

That was a sign to many who hadn't heard from the artist something was coming, but when was it coming was the question. Yet, it wasn't long until some speculation was answered, and that was Thanksgiving. Where Soulja said one thing that would set the tone for the newly released project. He says "Thanks for giving the energy." As sighting it was some unknown force, or forces that had made this project come to life.

Soulja is infamous for his long hiatus breaks from social media, and the music scene only to re-appear with something that shakes up those who look out, and don't look out for him. Only to disappear again. But, where does this new project stand next to its predecessor? Admittedly this new released work from Soulja Corleone is much longer than the previous "He Has Rizen" EP released in 2016 that came in with only 4 tracks, and with majority produced by CashMoneyAP, and one produced by Skeyez.

The follow up features 10 tracks, and showcases a variety of producers in its credits. And, mostly familiar names that have been the backbone of many Soulja Corleone tracks. That includes The Cratez, Nate Rhoads, Cxdy, and now Skeyez. While some names are unfamiliar to have done production for Soulja Corleone such as WxlfStealth, and Ryo the Ghoul. But, besides the multiple producers it took to give this project life. The main attraction is that Soulja Corleone came out, and brought his vision to each, and every track.

For so much time away from the scene Soulja Corleone's voice is going to perk up alot of ears, and may bring some response to the content of the project. It more or less seemed as he had unfinished business from the last "He Has Rizen" project into this one. But, at the end of it all. It seems as if its been resolved on Soulja Corleone's end.

Listen to "He Has Rizen 2" below.

Soulja Corleone Drops Another Verse, Talks Anime References

   Soulja Corleone has been releasing some one-off verses until the release of his collaboration project with Down East Music Group artist Will Boy.

   And, this time is no exception as Soulja Corleone drops a furious one-off verse on now is what is being called "Mo' Murda, Kill Everything" via his SoundCloud page. But, what makes this verse different from all his other verses is that Soulja sports a new flow that during majority of the song, that he usually uses for only a couple bars in most. Using the triplet pattern made popular by the Migos. Soulja speeds through many bars of this track.

   Soulja recently sat down, and spoke on the one-off verses. Saying "Most of the verses to me are just warm-ups before I start a actual studio session. Going through beats that I normally wouldn't touch, and coming up with something on the spot is a challenge for me. During that time gets me chance to mess with effects, and processes that I normally don't do for a actual track. It gives me some practice on certain things I want to try in my own music. I never planned on releasing the verses except for my "Goosebumps" verse that I did."

   Soulja also spoke on what influenced him to record such one-off verses as "Super Sayian God Flow" and "Super Dragon Ball Flow" which he released via his SoundCloud page also. He said "First off, I love Anime, and Dragon Ball is one of my favorite animes. I watch alot of them, always on the look out for new ones. But, sitting in the studio you have alot of down time. Before, and after a session. I find myself usually catching up on "Dragon Ball Super" or watching some other anime. Might hear a beat, and be like.. thats some DBZ stuff right there. I mean thats how I did those two verse. Simply off that logic. I don't purposely go to anime as a reference, but it was hella fun using it as one. Its almost like you can gauge what people of your audience catch on to the references. Maybe, even get called out cause you got one wrong, and is not cannon to the anime."

   As of now Soulja hasn't said whats the next one-off verse he wants to release, or that he wants to release anymore anytime soon. But, he is showing alot of his listeners that time didn't slow him down. He's as on point as he was before, if not better than he was before. But, if you haven't heard the new one-off verse. Its down below..

Soulja Corleone Drops Tracks From "Avengeful Heart" And Updates On Collaboration Project.

   Soulja Corleone has been busy at work this year. Working on two projects simultaneously. A solo project, and a collaboration project with Will Boy of Down East Music Group.

   Both projects have been under wraps with only a track coming from the collaboration project Soulja has with Will Boy. A track that he says he was excited to hold until the release of the final project.

   Which is the track "Higher" featuring Amoure on the hook. Amoure is an collaborator of Soulja Corleone, and HB from their track "Fed Up" back in 2010. It is produced by Big Boy Traks, and is the first track to give a idea of what the collaboration project between Soulja Corleone and Will Boy will sound like when its released. Soulja has said that there are no more songs to be released from that project until its full release.

   But, in the meantime the people got something else they wasn't expecting. Soulja Corleone released 5 songs from his solo project "Avengeful Heart" this week. Soulja Corleone's reason for releasing the track was if he didn't put it out now, he would have never put it out. He also exclaimed that he's been holding on to these tracks for some time as they was the first 5 original songs recorded for this project. He also disclosed that as songs will be finalized for this project they will be released. So, that is a hint that more is coming from this project.

   So, far the songs are uploaded on Soundcloud under the "He who is: Thirteen" account. Soulja also addressed why this is so... He says "I uploaded the songs to a separate account from my main account, because that is how the music, and persona goes. Its not like when I did Mildley Woods. I want this to stand on its own as its own idea." 

   How much Soulja Corleone has planned for "Avengeful Heart" is still up in the air. But, for now we have a idea of what the project is supposed to be. As far as the other part of the whole "Avengeful Heart" project. Soulja hasn't disclosed, or release the written portion of it. Speculation is when the music is full released then the written portion will be.

   For now.. lets enjoy the hard work Soulja Corleone has done this year, and hope that he can continue this streak in 2018.

Soulja Corleone and Will Boy Collaboration Makes Progression

   Its been a busy time for Soulja Corleone. For some its almost to good to be true. And, for some its almost nostalgic. If you want to think about it. It was just a few years ago, there was almost a Soulja Corleone, or SDIMG artist dropping a project after just dropping one a week before. When the grind was the only thing that mattered.

   But, times have changed Soulja Corleone established himself, and then got caught up in the work flow of things, and had to find himself musically. Majority of the SDIMG artist have moved on from working under the label, or just stopped creating music entirely. As if the empire that had just reached its prime fell overnight.

   And, in the meantime Soulja Corleone would disappear from music, release some music, announce a follow up project that would never be released, and disappear all over again. But, maybe its a change in the times for Soulja Corleone. Who is currently working on multiple projects at the same time. Which are all currently to be released some time this year.

   Yet, it was one project that truly kicked off this new change for Soulja Corleone. And, its was a project that was 2 years in the making. Which is a collaboration project with Will Boy, and its called "Southern Soul and Dope Cuts" which is hosted by DJ Marksman. As the project came to be, it was soon overshadowed by a follow up solo project from Soulja Corleone. "Avengeful Heart" which is also soon due for release. But, now "Southern Soul and Dope Cuts" is getting attention once again from Soulja Corleone, and he spoke about recently.

   He says "The project is pretty much done on my end, as of right now its on Will Boy to do him. Then, the project will go off to DJ Marksman to do him. So, far I'm very proud of the project, and what I've done with it. Its something I think people will enjoy. I honestly didn't put too much thought into it. I let the music take me where it wanted me to go, and just did it like that. So, even for me right now.. its a waiting game up until its completed. But, there is no sense to rush it. Just let it become what it chooses to become right now."

   Soulja Corleone did show off two snippets from the project on his SnapChat recently. And, its really just a tease for those who are waiting for the project. There hasn't been show of the music from "Avengeful Heart" yet. But, possibly after the release of "Southern Soul and Dope Cuts." There will be something teasing "Avengeful Heart" for the people.

Soulja Corleone Speaks On The Music of "Avengeful Heart" and Other Projects.

   Soulja Corleone has been a busy person as of recently. Making a full comeback to music. Starting off with his collaboration project with Will Boy & DJ Marksman.

   Not, soon after announcing that project. He also announced he was in the midst of working on another long await project of his own desire.
As for now both projects are still being worked on, but Soulja Corleone recently opened up about one of the projects, and how it came to be.

   That project was "Avengeful Heart" that Soulja Corleone spoke on. To read that article click here. But, as Soulja Corleone said in that interview. There was more to the project than just music. There is also a literary part of the project. But, what stopped Soulja Corleone from working on the project years ago. When he thought it up was mainly the musical side of it. Soulja said that he didn't know how to create the sound he wanted for the project, and felt the idea he was going for was a little to out there for people at the time of its conception.

  But, now Soulja Corleone has recently spoke on the music of the project, and what inspired him to go with the style he did. He  says "Music today... is way more accepting of artist genre hopping. That was something I was afraid of back in the day honestly. But, you get to a point when you just don't care. Its my music, its my musical vision. So, you want to create what you want to create. Because it makes you feel good about it. That's all I ever cared about in my music. How it made me feel after I've recorded, and put my feelings in a song. It was always that therapeutic experience that kept me making music. And, its partly why I never signed a deal with any label. I didn't want to feel the pressure of creating something that I didn't want to."

He continues by saying "I've watched how music evolved, the sound evolved. And, its like I was able to pick from here, and there to come up with a sound that fit the idea of what I wanted for the project. From there I was able to design the vocal setup to mimic what I heard, and worked myself into the idea of I was envisioning in the first place. So, far its worked to how I saw from the beginning. I honestly think it was a good time for me to work on it now. Since I can gain so much new inspiration from music coming out, that pretty much carry the style I dreamed of some years ago."

Soulja Corleone kind hinted off record that the project is partly done to where he wanted it, and half of the writing is done too. He was just wondering what to release first. The story, the music, or release the two projects side by side. He also said that he's working on another project outside of "Avengeful Heart" and "Southern Soul and Dope Cuts"with Will Boy. That will be possibly bigger than both. But, for now its only in the idea stages. Yet, it won't be release until closer to the end of the year.

Soulja Corleone Shuts Down #AvengefulHeart Tweets But Says "Project Is Still On The Way"

   Soulja Corleone is busy at work this year. Currently working on a collaboration project "Southern Soul and Dope Cuts" with Will Boy of Down East Music Group, and working on a solo project entitled "Avengeful Heart." Which sparked much talk from listeners who followed Soulja Corleone on Twitter. When weird tweets began to show up.

   Tweets that Soulja Corleone later came out, and spoke about recently as part of the "Avengeful Heart" project. But, now Soulja Corleone went to Twitter saying that the tweets concerning "Avengeful Heart" is going to stop. He will no longer be updating the account with things concerning the project. In fact he won't be speaking on the project entirely until its done.

   Now, why Soulja Corleone decided to abruptly change his mind on doing this. He says "The joy I was getting from making this project. Just made a left turn. I'm just gonna coast on it, and not push it as hard as I was.." That's a lot to take in for those who maybe looking forward to the tweets in anticipation of the project. But, it has to be something major behind the scenes for Soulja to just end something.

So, any updates about "Avengeful Heart" is just in the air until Soulja Corleone decides to drop the project. But, many hope that this project doesn't become what some of Soulja Corleone's previous works that got announced, and never came out. Like his announced, but never released album "Redemption" in 2014. And, possible album "13th Hour" in 2016. Those two project marked something in Soulja Corleone's catalog. And, that's when his vision of the project gets distracted, and abandons the project. Let's hope that's not the case for "Avengeful Heart." It would be a waste to see Soulja Corleone hold on to a project for so long in theory, and attempt to work on it. Just to abandon it.

As far as anything Soulja Corleone that will be possibly updated is the collaboration he has with Will Boy. But, even that is currently on hush between all parties.

Soulja Corleone Opens Up About "Avengful Heart" Project & More..

   Soulja Corleone recently cleared up any misconception that may have come from his Twitter accounts. Saying that its part of his new upcoming project, and its not as serious a people think it is.

   Now, Soulja Corleone gives more insight into his thought process on this new project, and more. For those who know Soulja Corleone's music. It comes from a real places, and moments in his life. And, documenting in his music. Many situations are reflected in array of songs. Ranging from depressing, and suicidal to uplifting, and riding music.

   Soulja Corleone has always shown himself through his music. As himself, but this is what he says about this new project.

It was always something that I wanted to explore, but I felt like the music I was putting out was put into a box. I'm a Southern artist. So, the only music I'm supposed to make is Southern Rap. That's a personal feeling not fact. But, even though I've spread out into recording songs with a East Coast vibe, music that was emotional, music that you could get high to. I felt at my core. I was just a Southern Rapper. And, its not that I hate that. I embrace my culture, and hertiage at every chance I can get. Because it made me who I am musically. Its my influences of Scarface of the Geto Boys, 8Ball & MJG, UGK, and many more. That cultivated my style. The way I can talk about a car, or just talk about riding around in my music. It all came from what I heard from them. Before I ever listened to Nas, Wu-Tang Clan, Gang Starr, and DMX. 

So, for me to go out and experiment in waters I've never tread before. Its like there is no right direction. Just start walking. But, I pre-planned alot of this idea. How the music, and the story goes together. How the music comes from a real place, but its personified in a fictional manner. It was my love for that relatable fiction that I saw in something as foreign as animes that inspired the entire motif of what I'm making. And, I'm enjoying every moment of it. Taking songs I wrote some years ago, re-writing them, and re-designing them for this sound I'm trying to create, and making them a little more relevant than they original was, but not missing their intented purpose. I know personally not everybody would like what I'm creating, and what I'm doing. But, at the end of the day. I can atleast say that I brought my idea to life. Its not for everyone to accept.

   It seems as if Soulja is really into this project. And, it means a lot to him as he goes through the process of creating it. He's excited about it, and hopefully those who give it a listen becomes as excited for "Avengeful Heart" and what else comes with the project.
