Soulbrotha - 2009 2015

Review by George Trunyan

Album Review: Soulbrotha - 2009 2015 Alright, let’s talk about this gem right here—Soulbrotha’s 2009 2015. Released in (you guessed it) 2015 under Ill Adrenaline Records, this album is a love letter to Boom Bap heads who miss that raw, gritty Hip Hop sound. If you’re into Rap with sharp lyricism and beats that slap like a dusty SP-1200, then buckle up, ‘cause this one's for you. First off, the vibe of the album feels super authentic, like Soulbrotha just vibin’ in his zone, not trying too hard to impress anyone but still killin’ it. The production? All on him. Dude really sat down and cooked these beats himself, which gives the project this cohesive, personal feel. And shoutout to Benjamin Voelker and Rahim Muhammad for executively producing this beast—it shows in the details. Now, I gotta highlight a couple tracks that stuck with me. First up, “Who’s Next.” Man, this joint bangs. It’s got that punchy drum pattern, crispy snares, and this bassline that just sits perfectly under Soulbrotha’s flow. He comes through with some serious bars here, talking about staying hungry and pushing forward no matter what. You can tell he ain’t playing around—he means every word. The instrumental version later on the album is fire too; it lets the beat breathe, and honestly? Sometimes that’s all you need. Another track that hit different was “Flow ‘N Facts.” This one’s more reflective, almost like Soulbrotha’s giving us a peek into his mindstate. The lyrics are sharp, and there’s this cool balance between storytelling and straight-up flexing. It’s not overly complicated, but it hits hard because it feels real. Plus, the skits sprinkled throughout the album keep things interesting—they break it up without being annoying, which is rare. Oh, and how could I forget “The Golden Era Isn’t Finished?” That skit alone had me nodding my head like, “Yeah, bro, preach!” Like, yeah, we know Hip Hop has evolved, but Soulbrotha reminds us that the essence of the culture is still alive if you look for it. Honestly, this album feels like a time capsule. It’s not perfect—some skits go on a bit long, and maybe a few tracks could’ve been left on the cutting room floor—but that’s part of its charm. It’s unpolished in the best way, like flipping through an old mixtape you found at a thrift store. Reflection time: Listening to 2009 2015 made me realize something kinda funny. We spend so much time chasing trends and new sounds, but albums like this remind us why we fell in love with Hip Hop in the first place. It’s raw, it’s real, and it doesn’t need bells and whistles to make an impact. Soulbrotha didn’t reinvent the wheel here—he just reminded us why the wheel spins so damn smooth. So, if you’re looking for something legit, grab this album. Just don’t blame me when you start bumping it on repeat and ignoring your friends.

Interesting fact about Album

Here’s something cool: Soulbrotha's album *2009 2015* is a love letter to Boom Bap hip-hop. It came out in 2015 but feels like a throwback to the golden era of rap. The album has tons of skits and instrumental versions of tracks, giving it an old-school mixtape vibe. Plus, it was released on Ill Adrenaline Records, a label known for keeping that raw, unfiltered hip-hop sound alive. Benjamin Voelker and Rahim Muhammad helped executive-produce it, but Soulbrotha himself handled the production—true DIY vibes. Tracks like "Who's Next" and "Back In The Days" remind you why people still obsess over '90s-style beats. Definitely worth a listen if you miss that gritty, soulful hip-hop sound.
