Soulspazm
Records, founded in 2000
by Jim Drew, has one very
definite and distinct mission
within the cultural and
artistic platform of hip-hop—to
redefine Q-Tip’s infamous
Industry Rule #4080.
Having a firm belief in
eradicating floss from both
the record industry and
the art form of hip-hop,
Soulspazm is committed to
expending time, energy and
money on the development
of their artistic roster.
Ultimately, Soulspazm’s
intention is to confirm
that quality really does
have more meaning than quantity.
Obviously these company
commitments profoundly affect
who is a part of the Soulspazm
family. As such, all artists
have a firm commitment to
the elevation and progression
of their craft, which in
turn leads to a constant
striving for the furthest
reaches of their artistic
selves.
So far, Soulspazm has released
LP's and 12-inches by a
stubbornly individualistic
and distinctively talented
collection of artists comprising
of Grand
Agent, Supastition, Pumpkinhead,
Hezekiah,
Fel
Sweetenberg, Gos,
DJ
Sat One and The1Shanti.
In addition to the record
label, Soulspazm has founded
a highly innovative and
original project entitled
Beat
Society. Beat Society’s
sole intention is to accentuate
and emphasize the importance
of beat making within hip-hop.
In doing this it serves
as free a platform in which
producers may showcase their
tracks and network with
other producers and emcees.
Within two years of the
Beat Society website going
live over 400 producers
and 4,000 beats were showcased
through the website.
Owing to the unexpected
and overwhelming popularity
of the Beat Society concept,
the idea has flowed over
from the confines of the
Internet and is currently
also a successful event
in Philadelphia, New York,
and DC.
Whilst Soulspazm believes
in creative variety, they
also recognize that it is
becoming increasingly difficult
to look in a steady direction
and find integrity and commitment.
Soulspazm intends to continue
positioning themselves as
a positive and trustworthy
label for both consumers
and artists alike. Soulspazm
will prove this by continuing
their history of artistic
freedom for the artist and
releasing solid material
for DJ’s and consumers
alike. |
