Soulja Finally Releases The Name of His Upcoming EP

After 3 months of talking about his EP, and finally releasing a single from it. Then, keeping the name hidden of it. Soulja has finally came out, and gave the name of the EP to the public. He says "After keeping the name of the EP hidden, so long. I think y'all are ready for the name of the EP. The EP is named "Music. Pain." be prepared for it."

So, the name that has been given to the upcoming EP is only two words? That is a little simple for Soulja. So, with a brief interview the whole reason was given for why this awaited, and so secret EP name was chosen. Soulja says "I chose a name for my album that I thought I would be working on at the beginning of the year. A little after I dropped the "Never Given Sunday" mixtape. But, it dwell on me so long that I fell out with it. As I began to explore more than just rapping, and started working on beats. I realized the only thing that kept me going was the music. It was a release, and escape from the pain I encountered in my personal life. And, therefore I put the two together, and came up with the name for the EP. Once I started working on it."

Seems logical enough for Soulja, he also talks about working on a sequel EP. He says "The original name for my album is still in my head, and I have plenty of leftover material that I can use in my next project, and I will use that name on that EP. Since the name of this EP goes along with the sequel that could be."

Finally, the dormant Soulja who hasn't putting nothing out since the end of 2011 has his game plan in motion. Lets see what it turns out to be.

Q&A With Soulja on Features of Upcoming EP

 

Little by little the upcoming EP from Soulja is starting to come into view. We sat down with Soulja, and talked about the features on the EP in detail for the EP. Let's hope to get more of a in depth idea of the EP, that has been put under so much wraps.

So who is featured on the EP?
Soulja Corleone: As of now, the features would stand as Ca$h, Will Boy, D. Progidy, and R.E.C.A.P for the EP.

How many tracks is Ca$h on, and how is working with him on this EP different from any project?
Soulja Corleone: Ca$h is on 2 tracks of the EP, and they classics. If I must say. Working with Ca$h is almost like working with myself. So, the tracks on this EP we at like every other track we did any project before. Giving each other the idea for our separate verse. So, when you listen to the whole song it sounds like one whole picture.

How was it working with Will Boy?
Soulja Corleone: Will Boy is a amazing artist. Most rappers try to say my verse killed everyone, but only a real artist, can give props where props is due. And, Will Boy heard what I did on the tracks, and just turned it up to another notch for his. He added in that missing element to the tracks, and really makes the track complete.

Who is D. Prodigy, and how was working with him?
Soulja Corleone: D. Prodigy is my little cousin. He been wanting to get into music since I've started getting out there, but he never took the time to sit down with me, and learn the basics. He has a good idea of what to make, but it took alot of coaching to get him where I wanted him to be just for one track. And, so working with him was a little more difficult than working with others. But, the track for the EP is good. You'll most likely hear more from him when he gets more coaching.

What was it like working with R.E.C.A.P?
Soulja Corleone: R.E.C.A.P is a good guy, and a artist with alot of potential. The track we did together he co-produced the beat for his verse, to fit more of his style, and that was fine with me. We worked together to accommodate each other, and the track sounds great. It has its balance between me, and him. So, its a all around track for the both of us.

Any other features that didn't make the cut?
Soulja Corleone: There was a few songs left on the table. One featuring L3GEND is still uncompleted, and another with D. Prodigy is uncompleted, and didn't make my deadline for the project, so they would appear on another project once they are done.

And, when are we looking forward to the release of the EP?
Soulja Corleone: I have no date written in stone, but throwing some ideas around. I'm almost settled on a date though.

Well, thats some information on the upcoming EP, hopefully next time more will be released about the EP.

Soulja Talks About His Trials & Tribulations While Working On Upcoming EP

As Soulja begins to kick off his upcoming EP. He sat down to speak with us about working on it, and what he's been going through working on the EP. And, possibly who will feature, and when it will be released.

When asked what was the toughest part of starting the EP, Soulja says "Finding a place to begin, but its like that with every project. But, once you have your direction. There is going to be alot of alternative roads coming your way. Sometimes its best to pick one, and roll with it." Soulja continued by saying "Truthfully the toughest part wasn't me getting started, but getting sick after I got started. That was one of my major setbacks. For a day or two it gave me time to stop recording, and work on a few new beats. But, after a week or so it got annoying cause I couldn't really record, and send out tracks to the people I was collaborating with. But, through it all... sick or not I still recorded some songs. So, I just hope the people bare with me on some tracks not sounding my best."

We then we on to ask Soulja who would be on the EP. He simply responded, and said "The regulars who always feature on my tracks with me for most of my projects. L3GEND, Ca$h, and now Will Boy since some tracks I made was really southern inspired he was the most likely candidate for spitting something  lyrical, and southern. And, I'm hoping to work with some new people for a track or two."

But, when it came down to the most need to know question. On when is the EP dropping? Soulja said "I really don't know. I never stop a project until the music stop, once the music stops. Then, I'm ready to put it out. But, since this is a EP, and not a full length album. I'm hoping to put it out sometime in May."

Now, with the knowledge of knowing the EP is dropping sometime in May. People must know the name of it, but Soulja simply said "Not yet. I don't plan on putting the name out there until the second single. Because the name of the EP truly would give away with the EP will sound like. So, that's why I'm keeping it under wraps for now."  And, with the final question to ask. Who is helping pick out the songs for the EP? Soulja says "No one other than Ca$h. He always works close with me on my projects. I let him hear alot of stuff that's unfinished so I can get a honest response back about the material. He picked the first single, and the second. And, by the time the second single drops. The EP will be on its way."

Even with all the information Soulja gave about the project. Alot is still unknown about it. Guess we'll have to wait until the release date gets close for the EP.

Its official now, the EP from Soulja is in the works, and now on the way. Today, Soulja dropped this first single from it, entitled "Ridin' Round the City" which features new yet old collaborator Will Boy. Don't remember Will Boy, he appeared on the songs "One N*gga" and "Unfamiliar Faces" from Soulja's previous mixtape "Never Given Sunday" that dropped some months ago.

And, it seems Soulja cut no corners with this smooth single. Soulja spoke on the track, and said "I chose this song as the first single, simply cause its something for the people to play in they cars. While I was making the beat in my mind. I was like I want something to bang hard in the trunks, but be smooth enough to play on a afternoon, or rolling up to the club. And, the words just came from the beat itself. I must say both myself and Will Boy painted the picture of just what I imagined making the beat."

Check out the first single from the unnamed EP from Soulja below.
