[Video] Soul Khan ft. Arthur Lewis – “Rusted Ghosts” (Dir: Brood Baby)

On "Rusted Ghosts", as with the rest of the EP, Abnormal handles the production and crafts a chilling, piano-driven backdrop for Soul's narrative about tattoos. For more on the Brown Bag emcee, make sure you check out our interview with Soul Khan where we discuss the EP and a whole lot more. Check out the visuals to "Rusted Ghosts" below, as well as an inside look into the meaning behind Soul Khan's tattoos.

"I was surprised to find some friends were opposed/ like "what about when you get wrinkled into stretches and folds?"/ But if I never take a step I could regret when I’m old/ then my regrets’ll be the only thing that I’ll ever hold./ So I slid in the chair, palms clutching the arms of it/ my whole body was probably limp as a sock puppet./ Used to fear the pain, now it’s one of my favorite parts of it/ 'cause there ain’t nothing more beautiful than the scar from it." - Soul Khan

[Interview] Soul Khan talks “Psalm EP,” the term ‘femcee,’ and memories from Fat Beats

Martin Bauman

Interview by: Martin Bauman If you're a fan of Grind Time and King of the Dot, the name Soul Khan should be familiar to you. For two years, the Brooklyn-based emcee made a name for himself in the battle circuit, establishing himself as one of the most popular and successful battlers on the circuit. Then, in late 2010, he retired from battling and turned his full attention and energy into making music. Since then, the Brown Bag emcee has released an impressive body of work, from his free album Soul Like Khan in November of 2010 to his latest EP, Wellstone. He's also put in a ton of work with his group, the Brown Bag AllStars, whose work has earned respect from the likes of DJ Premier. Now, he's promoting his latest solo offering, the Psalm EP. The Come Up Show caught up with Soul Khan ahead of his EP release to discuss the project, his thoughts on the term 'femcee', memories from Fat Beats, and much more.
