NEW MUSIC | SOUL TO SPEAK — PHILOSOPHY PODIUM VOLUME 2

By Rishma • On Uncategorized , , , ,

Soul To Speak is a transcon­tin­ent­al Hip Hop duo bridging the pulse of Lon­don with the soul of Kam­pala. Com­posed of lyr­i­cist Watusi87 and pro­du­cer DJ Main­tain, the group crafts music that’s as intel­lec­tu­ally charged as it is emo­tion­ally resonant.

Their debut album, Philo­sophy Podi­um, is a bold manifesto—an unapo­lo­get­ic blend of poet­ic defi­ance, son­ic depth, and cul­tur­al com­ment­ary. Watusi87 deliv­ers verses that mix bravado with vul­ner­ab­il­ity, weav­ing nar­rat­ives that chal­lenge sys­tems while cel­eb­rat­ing iden­tity. His lyr­ic­al style is rooted in the tra­di­tion of Hip Hop as a social move­ment, giv­ing voice to the unheard and spot­light­ing the overlooked.

DJ Main­tain, known for his emo­tion­ally evoc­at­ive pro­duc­tion, builds sound­scapes that elev­ate Watusi’s words—layering soul, jazz, and boom bap into beats that feel both time­less and urgent.

Togeth­er, Soul To Speak is more than a music­al act—they’re a philo­sophy in motion. Wheth­er per­form­ing in intim­ate ven­ues or releas­ing visu­als that amp­li­fy their mes­sage, Soul To Speak stands as a test­a­ment to Hip Hop’s power to tran­scend bor­ders and ignite minds. Their artistry is a dialogue—raw, rhythmic, and ready to resonate.

On 8 May 2026 Soul To Speak proudly announce the release of their Sopho­more album Philo­sophy Podi­um Volume Two, a genre-defy­ing pro­ject that fuses raw lyr­i­cism, soul­ful pro­duc­tion, and rad­ic­al thought.

Born from the cul­tur­al cross­roads of Lon­don and Kam­pala, Soul To Speak is more than a music­al act it’s a move­ment, one that is con­tin­ued in their new pro­ject.  Now a series, Philo­sophy Podi­um is a son­ic declar­a­tion of inde­pend­ence, blend­ing boom bap, jazz, and Afro­centric rhythms with sharp social com­ment­ary and poet­ic introspection.

Their work echoes the eth­os behind their ral­ly­ing cry: “We don’t need them, they need us.” This man­tra echoes through­out the pro­ject, chal­len­ging industry norms and amp­li­fy­ing voices often left unheard. Watusi87’s verses are both cereb­ral and vis­cer­al, while DJ Maintain’s pro­duc­tion cre­ates immers­ive land­scapes that elev­ate each track into a statement.

Soul To Speak are cel­eb­rat­ing the release with a series of live per­form­ances and visu­al drops, bring­ing the philo­sophy behind the podi­um to life.
