Soullution combines roots reggae with hip hop beat

About Me

The name Soullution means: inside of every person is JAH gift of da soul voice that can guide U to solve ur issues. Soullution is music with the power of Soul healing and upliftment. Soullution lyrics approaches life from a SPIRITUAL PERSPECTIVE. Love RElationships, which become the foundations for the families they become when children are born, need to be approached with reverence for JAH. Because if we recognize the divine in the other then we will treat the other with the respect and love that JAH children deserve. this is the same for our crazy world. Until the philosophy of world governments are based on reverence for JAH creation and JAH people we will always be fighting against systems that create wars. Soullution socio-political philosophy is based on these fundamental principles expressed by HAILE SELASSIE I and all his modern and anchient JAHpostles. 4 more of Ilosophy listen 2 da music ******* Soullution was founded by Ian I and Ras David in 1995. We began recording music and playing live around NYC and Connecticut. We released our first CD "Uplift with Sound" in 2001 on our own Earthforce Music label. Uplift received good reviews and was played around the world on radio stations thanks in part to Reggae Ambassadors Worldwide of which we are a member. We also gathered together members of the live band including: RYAN T on bASS, ANGUS W on KEYBOARD and FREDDIE BLAZE on DRUMS. In 2003 Soulution released their second CD "Seed of Love." The last show the original group played together was at Kebra Negast, a rasta restaurant in Hartford CT in February of 2005. Ian I continues to record with Ras David in hopes of releasing a 3rd LP. Ian I has also begun working with other artists such as the ALCHEMYSTICs you will hear him featured on their new EP to be released in the spring of 2007. Ian I is recording with vocalist and friend Jackie Santos from the Dominican Republic; they are working on a new version of "REINA BELLA," which will include a response verse by Jackie. Listen up to new Tracks such as "PEACE of MIND" and "SYSTEM IMAGERY." Ian I questions the state of a "system that is set up to fail, spiritually... worship da bling when inside there's empty"
