Check them out at: thesixtyone.com/soulcapital or myspace.com/soulcapital************** About Soul Capital *************Soul Capital is a dynamic hip-hop duo based out of New Orleans, LA, combining exciting and intelligent lyricism with non-stop beats that keep the crowd moving. The group, comprised of MC, Ben Brubaker, and DJ Miles Felix, brings together the best of both worlds; the traditional and the innovative, old school flavor with a new school twist, positive lyricism with a street edge. Ben has been writing songs, recording albums and performing live for almost 7 years now, despite being only 23 years old. Ben has built up a steady fan base by word of mouth, ranging from high school & college crowds to young professionals. DJ Miles Felix, at age 19, is one of the youngest DJ's to hit the New Orleans scene in years, and the New Orleans crowd has quickly recognized his talent as a DJ, Producer and musician. While Miles DJ's weekly at local New Orleans clubs like the Palms, Grits, and others, his beat production skills have brought him the most notoriety, earning him the reputation as a production "prodigy". Soul Capital has performed live at venues such as Tipitina's, the Howlin Wolf, and the House of Blues, performing with artists such as the Rebirth Brass Band, Lyrics Born, Raw Dizzy (Lil' Wayne's former Young Money artist) and more. Soul Capital has released a successful mixtape featuring singles such as "Cool Like That" and "They Say, I Love It", which have already begun to see radio play on WTUL 91.5 FM, CrescentCityRadio.com and Big Boot Radio. Soul Capital has recently performed at Tulane University and the University of New Orleans, helping to solidify a strong college-age following within New Orleans. Most recently, Soul Capital had three of their songs featured on the Flytracks Crew mixtape, "Promotional Use Only", with high profile artists Lil Wayne, Willie the Kid (DJ Drama's artist), Raw DIzzy, Raj Smoove, the Show, K. Gates and more. Brubaker and Felix hope to continue their success so far and take it to the next level with their upcoming, self-titled album debut. Brubaker and Felix currently work overtime with DJ Raj Smoove and the Flytracks Crew, working for artists such as Lupe Fiasco, B.G., Juvenile, and many more. Raj Smoove has already begun to take DJ Felix under his wing, helping him to develop into a well rounded DJ/ Producer/ Engineer, while Brubaker continues to develop his lyrical abilities. Soul Capital has the talent and the drive to do anything they want to do, however, they also have a different side them; the philosophical side of Soul Capital. The group's name, Soul Capital, represents a new approach to life, music and business, finding balance despite the various tensions between the underground and the mainstream. Their motto, "Dollars and Sense, Dollars and Change", says it all; when they finally do "make it", they vow to never forget why or where they started.www.myspace.com/soulcapital
