In My Own World is a title that holds true to this release as the album is about Soce’s experiences, and definition. Soce dazzles listeners with realism; rather than, ice out rhymes that gas up the talk, and say absolutely nothing. In the record store this album may be over looked as hip hop due to the tranquil cover art that has less hip hop in its design that Stompin Tom’s Cowboy boots. But it’s more about the music than anything, and that is where this album delivers some of the most imaginative, creative, and inspiring music fans have yet to hear.
In My Own World opens with “Feels Good”, a powerfully inspiring track that is blessed with strong lyrics that command attention, and a blissful beat that appeases the inner soul, and makes you want to move. “In My Own World” is new age hip hop that makes fans feel really good while listening. The album follows with 17 more tracks, 2 of which appear to be bonus tracks as they are not listed on the covers track listing. The next song up is “I’m That” which is a very conceptual track that really introduces fans to Soce. Dope beat, Dope lyrics, ill track. All of the songs are equally as strong; however, the few standouts are “Feels Good”, “Work / Play”, “Wistful Breeze”, “State Of Affairs”, and “Funny Feeling”. Track 5, the RPG Interlude is the least appreciated track on the album, and although creative, informative, and artist, it breaks up the flow of the album. Interludes have no place on an album as fans would much rather a banging track, or a continuously hot flow than a stop-n-pause chatter break.
Another strong point is that the music can be appreciated by wide audience of listeners. A touch of R & B, a hint of Jazz, light hearted hip hop vibes, positive, non offensive lyrics make this album appealing to more listeners. Soce, the Elemental Wizard does not go out with bling bling lyrics, but rather keeps it real. Soce has incredible flow, and delivery as a lyricist. He has a real talent when it comes to articulating his rhymes, and capturing the listener’s attention. Soce is an excellent song writer as well, and extremely creative.
In My Own World is an excellent album fans need to recognize and check out, and that’s the bottom line. This album will impress most listeners if they give it a chance.
