Soul Rock Affiliates
with a mindset in the past and an ear to the future, dj nev-i-nev, beat prodigy afta-one and the 1995 buterfield spelling bee champion mc speak, created the soul rock affiliates to bring back good music. There goal is not to repliacte the sound of the hip hops golden age (tribe, de la, jungle bros) but to remind people that while a club banger and materialistic lyrics are all good, it sometimes is about getting back to basics, dope beat, simple rhymes and saying something...
