Peep The Liquor Store Hookers project I have with Scotty B. The Digital Assassin, in Melbourne, Australia.
Lately I'm on the Akai MPC4000, Propellerhead Reason, and some live instruments - Basses, Keys, Guitar. Also always working with a ton of great live musicians... Some more motivated than the others. Some gangstas. Some wankstas... But that's how it always is... It all works out right in the end.

Sounds Like:
"Marry Charles Bukowski's grimey, drunken whore-stories and early work in Los Angeles with Biggie Smalls' adolescent tales of being broke and living it up in Bed-Stuy, Brooklyn, and you have SOL-T's across-the-board O.G. swagger in 2006..."

Kadillac Krush Weekly
"Sol-T keeps it cocky, but conscious...Not every rapper name-checks Henry Miller and Charles Bukowski, but Sol-T doesn't aim to be like other rappers."
- Rex Reason, Music Writer
OC Weekly
"Sol puts a fresh, funny and raunchy spin on old-school hip-hop, both on the mic and the MPC2000."
- Dave Segal, Music Editor
OC Weekly
"It was just out of control, people spitting on law enforcement, girls with their breasts out with guys doing ski-slope shots of whiskey off their nipples, people who had pissed their pants and were dancing around like nothing was going on because they didn't want to lose their spot in the front row... I'm just saying - it was out of control, that's why we had to taze half of the people at Sol-T's last show... He's a good guy, but that noise he makes, it just attracts too many psychos."
- Officer Matt (2nd Street Beat)
