I GOT SOUL

YugaSoda, the youngest member of Umeda Cypher, will digitally release his first-ever solo album, I GOT SOUL, on September 20th.

Carrying the momentum straight from his EP Snaps released in July, this album features a total of 9 tracks. Built around questions like "Who is YugaSoda?" and "Why do I rap?", this project was created as he deeply reflected on himself as both an individual and a rapper. It serves as a concentrated showcase of what solo MC YugaSoda feels he must express right now.

Throughout the album, YugaSoda presents a variety of dimensions-ranging from tracks packed with his signature humor, irony, and sharp venom to soulful songs that highlight his contemplative side. The lyrics, infused with his own personal experiences, emotions, and struggles, allow listeners to connect with a more intimate side of him than ever before.

The album features guest appearance by his close ally crrrt. On the production side, KennyDoes, teppei, and peko from Umeda Cypher participated as sound producers, riding a diverse range of genre-defying beats centered on hip-hop. Additionally, members of Umeda Cypher contributed at various stages of the creation process; though it is a solo work, it evolved into a fully realized piece polished alongside his fellow artists.

Furthermore, a physical CD version of I GOT SOUL, featuring three additional tracks previously included in the EP Snaps, is scheduled for release on October 3rd.

Facing his current reality head-on, YugaSoda's debut full-length album I GOT SOUL is packed with the exact music he is meant to create right now. While standing on the foundation of his past endeavors, it ultimately presents a brand-new side of his artistry.
