I try to attend various open mics around the city and I love seeing singers like Beano French, Jacqueline Constance, Re-Mus, and others do their own dope covers of songs they love to sing, so dewitt4dilla is right up my alley. This past February 21st Musiq Soulchild released dewitt4dilla, a five-track EP that consists of Musiq Soulchild singing classic hits from soul singers that he grew up listening to such as Donny Hathaway, Marvin Gaye, Prince, Stevie Wonder, and Michael Jackson over beats from his dear friend and well-respected hip hop producer, the late J Dilla.

JILL SCOTT LONG WALK TOUCH OF JAZZ SERIES
However, with the help of classic soul songs and hip hop beats from legendary hip hop producer J Dilla, Musiq Soulchild has returned with his latest project The Soul Brotha Series Vol. The fruit called success started to taste more bitter than sweet to Musiq as time grew - hence the alternate personas The Hussle and Purple Wondaluv. Due to him being typecast early in his career, the public wasn’t open to any variation in his artistry. However, because there wasn’t a label for Musiq to thrive as a hip-hop soul singer, he was put into the box known as “neo-soul” which allowed him to obtain success beyond his wildest dreams but at the same time stunted his growth as an artist. He was like if Bobby Brown was influenced by A Tribe Called Quest and De La Soul instead of Big Daddy Kane or LL Cool J. Throughout his career, Musiq Soulchild has been a singer with a soulful voice with a flair of hip-hop added in his music, similar to how Bobby Brown added New Jack Swing to his sophomore album Don’t Be Cruel. The first time you heard him beatbox on “Just Friends (Sunny),” Musiq was hip-hop soul. When he got signed to Def Jam in 2000 Musiq was hip-hop soul. When he started performing at local open mic events like Words and Sounds hosted by a North Philly songbird named Jill Scott, Musiq was hip-hop soul. When he started experimenting with music that ultimately led to the creation of Aijuswanaseing, Musiq was hip-hop soul. When he was inspired to be a singing version of the hip hop band The Roots, he was hip-hop soul.
When he was singing on the corners in Center City, Musiq was hip-hop soul. With all the praise he has received since the release of Aijuswanaseing, Musiq Soulchild looks at his career as a bittersweet blessing because for a majority of it, the public continued to categorize him as a neo-soul singer, instead of the style that he came in the door with 20 years ago. Two decades later Aijuswanaseing is still loved and cherished as a classic R&B album with timeless hits such as “Just Friends (Sunny)”, “Girl Next Door”, and “Love”, which could be argued as the best love song of the 2000s. But on November 14th of 2000, he would introduce himself to the world as Musiq Soulchild with the release of his debut album Aijuswanaseing. In the late 90s, a young man named Taalib Johnson was known for singing on the corners downtown in his hometown of Philadelphia.
