Hailing from Austin, Texas, Born Soul is an artist who stands out from the crowd, crafting a unique sound he calls ‘Coffee House Music’. With ambient vibes and hip-hop roots, the artist’s journey began in college, where he and classmate Henry Jones III DJed local parties, finding their calling in music creation. Forming Born Soul Productions, the artist creates music that highlights his industry independence. With Jones and Born Soul forming, Musik Innovator Hip Hoffee House in 2021, he continued to steer his music career towards success.
Born Soul’s latest release, Vybe King is a vivid new EP from the artist, brimming with sleek beat production and moving lyricism from the creative. A standout track in this six-track is ‘Trailblaze’, with heavy-hitting, sliding 808s pushing forth a soundscape filled with airy synth bands, mystifying arpeggios and tight hi-hat rhythms. Among the liquefying melodies, Born Soul’s flows provide a captivating foundation for the track, infusing a thoughtful energy and unparalleled confidence into the music as it rises and falls around the listener. The second half of the song sees a sharp beat switch, leaning into, a harder more aggressive production with haunting synth strings and darker accompaniments. Born Soul’s performance remains impressive adapting to the new sound with dynamic versatility.
Born Soul adds,“This record was recorded to inspire people, in general, to create their own path, blaze your own trail to what YOU feel success is…”
