Soolie’s Journey Continues with “L Thy S (Love Thy Self)”
Emerging artist Soolie has dropped another introspective and impactful track, "L Thy S (Love Thy Self)," further solidifying his place as a voice for authenticity and empowerment in hip-hop. Produced by the platinum-certified Quincy Tones, this track dives deep into self-love, healing, and the challenges that come with personal growth.
The Concept Behind “L Thy S”
For Soolie, "L Thy S" is more than just a song—it’s a personal journey of healing and reflection. “This track was needed in today’s hip-hop atmosphere,” Soolie shares. “The game’s been missing the real real in my opinion—the personable and humane aspects of our culture. I’ve been on a mission of self-empowerment and self-love, realizing that a lot of my traumas were a result of self-hate.”
This record serves as both a cathartic release and a call to action, encouraging listeners to face their struggles and take the first steps toward healing. Soolie describes it as a necessary reminder that “loving yourself beyond measure” is the foundation for overcoming life’s hardships.
Personal Growth and Vulnerability
"L Thy S" is a vulnerable masterpiece. Soolie opens up about his personal journey and how he used music as a means to confront his own insecurities and traumas. “I chose music to be the intercessor to some of my deepest traumas,” he explains. “I could fake it like a lot of artists, masking my pain with bravado, but I believe we need to make ‘real’ real again. Reflecting on my life through this song allowed me to confront things I had suppressed for so long.”
Through heartfelt lyrics and a raw delivery, Soolie’s vulnerability becomes the track’s greatest strength. The absence of a hook or chorus challenges the listener to stay engaged, proving his ability to hold attention purely through lyrical storytelling.
The Power of Quincy Tones
Quincy Tones, the platinum producer behind "L Thy S," played a pivotal role in bringing the track to life. Soolie recalls, “Quincy reached out to me after I participated in LaRussell’s Empty Verse Challenge. When I heard this beat, I immediately knew it was something special. It was the perfect canvas for me to pour my truth onto.”
Soolie recorded the track in a single session, delivering a powerful performance that reflects his passion and authenticity. “This record is me facing my demons and trusting in the person Allah is guiding me to become. My pain is in this record.”
The Visuals
The visuals for "L Thy S" are just as impactful as the song itself. Opting for a simple mic-drop-style video, Soolie raises awareness about the atrocities occurring in Gaza. By including war footage and an excerpt from Al Jazeera, he ties the theme of self-love to resilience and survival. “I wanted the visual to remind people that no matter how bad you think you have it, someone else is going through worse. Growth and resistance often come from enduring unimaginable hardships with faith and patience.”
This creative approach amplifies the song’s message, intertwining personal growth with global struggles. “To love thyself is to love God,” Soolie emphasizes. “The visuals reflect that even in the rubble, faith and resilience can carry us forward.”
Fan Reception
Since its release, "L Thy S" has garnered significant praise for its authenticity and emotional depth. Fans and industry veterans alike have commended Soolie for his ability to address universal struggles through a deeply personal lens. “I think people appreciate the honesty,” he says. “It’s humbling to hear how the song has resonated with others and sparked conversations about healing.”
What’s Next for Soolie?
As Soolie reflects on his journey so far, he remains focused on the road ahead. With plans to release 13 more tracks—10 produced by Rob Lo and three by Quincy Tones—2025 is shaping up to be a breakthrough year. He’s also eyeing collaborations with legendary producer group The Mechanics, aiming to continue evolving his sound and pushing the boundaries of his artistry.
“Music is my way of healing and connecting,” Soolie shares. “I want my audience to feel inspired to confront their own struggles and find their path to self-love. If I can be that example, then I’m doing my job.”
Final Thoughts
Soolie’s "L Thy S (Love Thy Self)" is more than a song—it’s a testament to the power of vulnerability, faith, and perseverance. By sharing his journey, he invites listeners to reflect on their own and find strength in the face of adversity. As he continues to grow as an artist, Soolie is proving that real music still has a place in today’s hip-hop landscape.
