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 Clears Up Twitter Account & Talks Upcoming Project "Avengeful Heart"

,
   After some days of very off the wall tweets from his Twitter account. Soulja Corleone is ready to clear up any misconception that any may have about what its going on.

   He says "I know that some may be freaked out by whats coming from my Twitter account. I swear. It is not what it may seem. My account hasn't been hacked. I'm fully aware of what is going on. But, it is all part of a grand scheme of things. I been had this idea that came to me inspired by animes that I've watched. I'm a avid anime fan. And, there are two animes that spawned this idea I had. "Tokyo Ghoul" and "Blood+" inspired me to come up with a mixture of the two. Musically, and in story form. I've sat on this idea for over a year, or more. Not knowing how to present this to people. So, I left it alone."

   He continues by saying "But, even though I'm still not sure of the direction I want to go with this musically. I know the story I have. The story I want to tell in the music. The story I'm telling through my Twitter account as He who is: Thirteen. Who is a character; but he is me. And, I've been him for along time even as Soulja Corleone. I've released music that should have been He who is: Thirteen. But, I've chose to put "Avengeful Heart" in He who is: Thirteen's name. He's a persona. And, he has a story. Just as Mildley Woods is a persona, a part of me. That I gave an identity to as a main focus; instead of just being one of the many parts of me. I can't truly describe without giving to much away. But, be entertained at the least. I've come to terms that what I'm doing isn't for everyone. Just as I'm sure the music isn't either."

   Then, he says "I'm just doing what feels good at the moment, experimenting as I've done in the past. Trying to find He who is: Thirteen's voice as I did for Mildley Woods, and as I've done for myself. The songs I've written are fairly old, but I finally have something; so I can put them into use. In the use of how they was intended. And, as far as the music goes its still a developing thing. My inspiration for it changes day to day, as I become influenced by something that I feel should be the direction I should be going. What the finish product is going to be? Even I have to wait until its all done."

   Soulja Corleone also did mention that his project "Avengeful Heart" is not conflicting with the collaboration project he has with Will Boy. He assured that its still in the works, and making progress. And, that it should be coming out soon. Although he didn't disclose when this new project "Avengeful Heart" will be released. It seems as if Soulja will detail it more as that progress also.

Is Soulja Corleone Out of Retirement?! Will Boy Collaboration Project Finally Going To Happen?!

,
   Soulja Corleone has been pretty active lately on Twitter. With a large amount of tweets to Will Boy of Down East Music Group. Talking about collaborating on a project.

   Then, Soulja Corleone tweeted out some cover work. Maybe the possible cover work for this upcoming project with Will Boy entitled "Southern Soul and Dope Cuts" that will be hosted by shared affiliate of Soulja Corleone and Will Boy.. DJ Marksman.

  You may remember DJ Marksman from Soulja Corleone's chopped and screwed version of "Who Is Mildley Woods?" some years ago. That's if you can still find it... But, DJ Marksman has always been a cornerstone of approval for Soulja Corleone, and his projects.

  The only thing that makes this a little to good to be true is that.. Soulja has said before in the past that he wanted to do a collaborative project with Will Boy. But, that never came to be due to Soulja retirement, then reappearance with "He Has Rizen" mixtape in 2016. Many thought that the project would never see the light of day. Due to Soulja's disappearing act of releasing music, then going into disappearing again.

  But, this could have some substance. It seems like all parties involved are on board to make this project happen, and from Soulja's tweets its already in motion. So, maybe its closer to reality than people think. Only time will tell for those who are interested.

   Yet, it still stands... Is Soulja Corleone retired or not? Maybe this is part of his process. Disappear for a while, and comeback. Following his strong appearance on "He Has Rizen." Its apparent Soulja can still deliver. But, will he come with it, or get swept by Will Boy. Who has been presist with new music while Soulja has been away.

  Well, the project has to drop before anyone can make any assumptions.

Soulja Corleone and CA$H Recorded Over 60+ Songs For "Blood Brothers"

, ,
Now almost a month old... The "Blood Brothers" mixtape from Soulja Corleone and CA$H still has more to give.

Soulja spoke about the mixtape, and its success since its released saying "It was more than I expected to come from a mixtape that had been push back so many times. But, people waited for it, and my only hope is that we delivered what they expected."

The mixtape went live on June 4 2014. And jumped in the Top 8 spot on DatPiff. Before, and after the release of the mixtape Soulja dropped 2 songs that didn't make the final tracklisting. Which made some wonder how many songs was recorded for the mixtape, and how many still are sitting around collecting dust? Soulja answered that question with ease recently on Twitter. He says "There was over 60 songs recorded for the "Blood Brothers" mixtapes between CA$H and myself. Some was fully recorded songs. Some only had a verse laid down from one of us waiting on the other to complete it. But, you can do the math."

,
Soulja Corleone recently released a super track entitled "The Decoded Files" a few days ago. And, now he just annouced via Twitter that he will be releasing the first half of "The Decoded Files 2."

Soulja Corleone Releases "The Decoded Files" Tracks

, ,
A couple weeks ago. SDIMG rapper, producer, and CEO Soulja Corleone dropped some unfinished tracks that were to be on his upcoming album entitled "Redemption" which is now being revamped.

A couple days ago those tracks was re-released as the " The Decoded Files" on Soulja Corleone's Youtube channel. Its a 7 min contentious track of the 5 songs that was released prior.

Soulja spoke on the new track, and its reason for being saying "It was something I should have did from the start, but I just wanted to get the music out to the people, and let them know I was working on "Redemption" and that I had the music for it. And, what I did have was some great songs, and concept. But, the main reason why they were unfinished was because I was no longer in those phases of my life, and of course the computer failure that I always experience when working on a large project such as albums, or mixtapes that mean alot to me as a artist."

Soulja Says "Back Like He Never Left" Is The Motto For The Year

,
Its been a while since Soulja has last been seen. He went MIA a few months after the release of his album "Music. Pain." and follow up "More than a Rapper" instrumental EP. So where has he been hiding? That has been the question burned into the fans of Soulja Corleone. And, now it seems as he's ready to return to the music once more.

In a brief speaking Soulja spoke on his reason of being MIA. He says "A little after I released my album, I feel sick due to a summer cold. Once I thought I was over that one, I gained another cold. So, I figured it'll be cool. Just to take some time off, and regain my voice, come up with some material." He continues "I really wanted to put out a follow up album after "Music. Pain." but with nothing going on in my life for me to speak about, and the cold. It was like two brick walls stopping me. And, yet again usually after I work hard on a project. I need time to reboot, and get back to writing new material. And, thats what I did."

Soulja also spoke about his upcoming mixtape, which cover work is shown above. He says "I know that I been away, and it seems right that I come back on a strong note. The year is almost over, and I really haven't put anything major under my belt since the album. So, I said to myself its almost like I'm back on the level I was when the year started, so its back to the status of working hard to put out good music." He continues with "I really wanted something out there to captivate the eyes before the ears, and something that has been captivating my ears is Big K.R.I.T's "Live from the Underground" album. So, I flipped that idea and took the artwork, put my spin on it, and entitled it "Return to the Underground" mixtape."

Soulja says that the mixtape is in the development stages, but he did put out a sneek peek of a track that will be on the mixtape. Its called "You See Meh" and can be found below. Check it out...

"Music. Pain." Is Complete & Ready For Its Release Date

,
For about 4 months Soulja has been at work on his self produced album. It wasn't until last month we found that the album was going to be a EP. It wasn't til early this month the fans found out the name of this album. But, with everything now completed the "Music. Pain." EP is ready for its May 15th release date.

Sunday via Facebook. Soulja updated his timeline with the picture of above. It is the official coverwork for "Music. Pain." EP. Even on Twitter Soulja updated the fans with tweets that the EP is in its final stages. Sunday evening Soulja tweeted "EP is complete, time to do the press work for it." It seems as though Soulja may be ready more than the fans for the EP to drop.

When it does drop the EP will cost $7.00 USD. When asked about the price tag Soulja said "I've been putting out free music for over 6 years. And, this project means more to me than any other mixtape, or free album I've released. Its not like I'm using the money to blow on a chain. Actually, whatever the EP makes will go into new equipment, and things like that. So, there can be more things other than music like Music Videos, Behind the Scenes. I look at if you supported me when it was free, support me still when it cost a little."

Either way you may see it, "Music. Pain." EP is a introduction to the next phase of Soulja Corleone. And, the people will see when the EP drops on May 15th.

#Relevance Is On The Way From Soulja Corleone

,
Despite what he may say Soulja has been working diligiently between the YBG mixtape, and now his upcoming "Relevance" mixtape. Soulja said "It wouldn't feel right for me to the YBG mixtape without having something of my own first, and the messages don't stop that I need something new out. So, with a little digging, and a new creative spirit "Relevance" will be soon complete for everyone who is waiting."

Soulja updated his Facebook fan page, and said that he recorded 2 freestyles just for this mixtape, and that makes it even more special since we haven't heard a freestyle from Soulja in a while since his "I Am the Present" mixtape. Soulja also said that he will be putting out one of those freestyles soon from "Relevance" for the people to know that it is on the way.

After deep questioning Soulja did come out, and said there will be features on this mixtape from Ca$h, EVS of Money Gang, and L3GEND. Although he did say it is on the way, he gave no date that the mixtape will be finished, and given to the people.

So, stay tune to Soulja's facebook, and Twitter for updates on the YBG mixtape, and  his "Relevance" mixtape.

Soulja Speaks On "My Best Work" Mixtape

,
Soulja has been in the music game for a while, and with the release of his "Who is Mildley Woods" mixtape he is just starting to get heard. And, at this time Soulja has reached out, and said "I live music, not only my own, but music made by my favorite artist such as Scarface, Z-Ro, 2Pac, and Nas. They have great songs, that will always be my favorites true veterans, but even with being in the game so long, you release music, and songs that people pass over. Its nice to stay relevant, but its even better to be remembered for a song you made tha never gets old. I've had a few of those songs, that people just seemed to pass over. And, I believe it could have been one of my best songs I've recorded. But, thats just how this game goes. Many vets used to say that your only relevant as your latest song, and album. And, I want to break that with "My Best Work" mixtape."

Soulja also went on to say "I need a rest from the game, and pay more attention to those who I've brought on. Its hard to juggle what your working on, and someone else's project. And, I'm not saying that those on the label can't carry their weight, but its my job as the leader to keep everyone pushing. So "My Best Work" maybe the latest, and the last release that people hear from me for a while."

Speaking with Cash, and Yung Rocky about Soulja's attempt to take time off. They simple said "You got to respect it, Soulja works hard on his own projects, and we all ask of something from him when we're working on our projects, and he can never tell us no. So, the time off from recording, and working on solo projects will give him time to work with us closer on ours, and some time to himself to work out personal issues."

The "My Best Work" mixtape will be released Oct. 25, 2011. And, before that it will be "Who is Mildley Woods? (Chopped & Screwed, and Hosted by DJ Marksman)" You can view that article here. Lets hope that Soulja does come back in 2012, and hit the people with something as big as "Who Is Mildley Woods?" again.

Soulja Corleone & DJ Marksman "Who is Mildley Woods (Chopped & Screwed)" Is On The Way

,
How many people remember that Soulja is also a DJ, and one of many Chopped, and Screwed DJs. So, it was only right that "Who is Mildley Woods?" drops as an Chopped and Screwed mixtape. But, instead of doing it himself. Soulja called on someone who he looks up to as a DJ, and an Chopped and Screwed DJ. Someone who he dubbed as his big brother, and that would be the one, and only DJ Marksman.

Soulja commented on how privileged he felt. "People think that I exaggerate when I say that it makes me feel as a better artist to have my music done by someone who takes as much pride in their craft as I do in mines. Marksman has been one of the few I look to as a mentor, someone who I attempt to follow after when it comes to my DJing. I call him my big brother cause that's all he's ever been to me, and still for him to touch some of my work is like having DJ Screw make a Screw tape out of my songs. That's how it feels for me."

DJ Marksman did announce via Twitter that "Who is Mildley Woods (Chopped & Screwed)" is finished, and a little something will be put out to the people who wait for it. So, screw heads get your double cup, and prepare to pour up."

Soulja Talks New Mixtape "Who Is Mildley Woods?"

,
After the release of his recent mixtape "To Be Continued.." Soulja said it would be the last of half recorded mixtapes. And, it seems he is going to follow through with his new "Who Is Mildley Woods?" mixtape. Soulja said "The mixtape is somewhat underway I'm getting together the outline of where I want to go with it, but I'm going to start pushing it after the mixtape with YBG (Young, Blessed, and Gifted) is out."

The main question to ask to Soulja is "Who Is Mildley Woods? And, why name the mixtape this?" Soulja responded with "Mildley is my alter ego. He is more of the actual person I am. A free spirit, and easy going. Mildley has been around for a while. He just has a name now. Mildley Woods is my smokers name given to me by some of my homies. Mildley is for Black, and Milds, and Woods is for Wood Tipped. So, I thought what better to do than name a mixtape after my alter ego, and let people find out who he is."

With the beginning of this project we're expecting to hear a different type of music, but Soulja has already said that "Sunday Brunch" will be on "Who Is Mildley Woods?" mixtape for the reason that song was a Mildley Woods inspired track. When the mixtape will drop no one knows, but knowing Soulja its sometime soon.

So stay tune for more updates, music, and more about Mildley.
