Verse 1
Us, we 8 plus 3, 2 then 7, Sri Mati, Kali, Uati, Mut Mawu, Sri Chandi
Peace queen Heaven and the Green, Serpentine back to spiraling
Peace King back to rhyming, Love ting back to finding...
Who we be morphologically
Uni Cosmologically
Sun moon astrologically
C6 topologically
Alchemical, bass line Seminole (seminal)
Subliminal reach thy pinnacle
Ascendable, 5th dimensional
Unquenchable, indispensable
Hook
Gotta Let it breathe so we can flow
gotta let it breathe so we can flow oh
Gotta Let it breathe so we can flow
gotta let it breathe so we can flow oh
Ride on the breath, ride on the breath all that energy rides on the breath
Death to the ego, fear to the left
Free from material now what’s left?
Verse 2
Us, you 432, 1.618 come through
I’m dropping these mathematical ratios for the few, who’s vision is from the sixth and speaking is from the Blue
I offer spiritual food and wisdom that you can use, prasadam, allot ‘em, along with music that’s been imbued with consciousness as the mood, the Goddess can’t be subdued
Platonic solids and cubes and Tulsi thats strongly brewed like....
Be here now, be here now, be here now, be here now, be here now, be here now, be here now , now now now now now now now
Hook
Gotta Let it breathe so we can flow

Ride on the breath, ride on the breath all that energy rides on the breath
Death to the ego, fear to the left
free from material now what’s left
Alchemical, bass line Seminole
Alchemical, bass line Seminole
Ascendable, fifth dimensional
Dimensional, fifth dimensional
Us, you 432 us, you 432,
Us, you 432, 1.618 come through like...

Solé began her professional career as a hardcore hip-hop artist by attracting attention in the summer of 1999 with her appearance on J.T. Money's hit single "Who Dat" which reached #1 on the Rap Singles Chart, remained on the charts for 8 weeks and won "Rap Single of the Year" at the 1999 Billboard Music Awards. This was followed by the release of her debut album "Skin Deep" on DreamWorks Records in September of 1999 which achieved gold status and garnered her a nomination for "Rap Artist of the Year" at the Billboard Music Awards. She also went on to win several ASCAP Music awards that same year.
Feeling disenchanted with the music industry, some of the lyrics she was writing and images she was portraying, after only one full-length album, Solé requested to be released from her record label, and her sophomore album, "Fly Away" was never released. She no longer wanted to be a part of the promotion and glorification of the destructive messaging and programming that was being pushed and promoted, especially in "urban" music.
During her almost 20 year hiatus, Solé embarked upon a spiritual journey and began evolving into the woman she is today. Not only is Solé a hip-hop artist, she is also a healing wellness practitioner, offering Sacred Medicine through music and various other healing modalities. She shares her offerings through her business Devi Tribe Wellness, as a Jivamukti Yoga Teacher, Reiki Master, Black Belt in Kung Fu, Clinical Herbalist, Sacred Medicine Woman Wellness Coach, Belly Dancer, Tantrika, Inner Shakti Pre Natal Yoga teacher, Birth Doula, Red Tent Facilitator and has a Certificate in Plant-Based Nutrition from the T. Colin Campbell Center for Nutrition Studies.
Her highly anticipated return to music is guided by a desire to offer music that is empowering and inspiring, reflective of the path that she embarked upon when she left the industry. Her return was ushered in with a feature on the single "SocMed Digital Heroin" on Public Enemy's 30th-anniversary album "Nothing Is Quick In The Desert". She was also featured on "Naal Naachna" by UK based Bhangra artist Jassi Sidhu. "Under The Veil", the long-awaited follow up to her freshman project, "Skin Deep", is due out early 2019. The first single, "Pranayama" is available now on all major digital and streaming platforms.
