JsouL - "Potential" ft. Eric Roberson & Substantial | [DOWNLOAD MP3] | [LYRICS]

Meet JsouL. This Baltimore native and soul sensation has been making a name for himself for years in the independent R & B scene. If you have Substantial vs. Samurai Champloo, then you might remember hearing him on the remix of Inverse's Spark My Soul, trading vocals with Steph the Sapphic Songtress. He's getting ready to drop his new album, entitled Black Sinatra. Here is the latest single from it, Potential, featuring our very own Substantial & Singer/Song writer, Eric Roberson, known for writing the hit song Hold On by Dwele. Those of you who love a smooth and mellow joint to vibe with, will not be disappointed. Be sure to keep an eye out for more JsouL and Substantial collaborations in the future.

Enjoy!

By the way, [SUBSTANTIAL/BURNS AVAILABLE NOW!]

[AUDIO] Substantial - The Memo (Move Me)

Substantial/Burns – “The Memo (Move Me)” – [DOWNLOAD MP3] | Artwork: Kevin Michael Earley.

After an incredible run of singles off his sophomore album Sacrifice that landed him rotation on MTV, VH1, FUSE & BET, features in URB, Black Beat, and more, Substantial returns with a brand new side-project entirely produced by Pittsburgh-native beatsmith, Burns, entitled Substantial/Burns. Fans of the Sacrifice album will undoubtedly recall Burns’ exemplary work on “Let It Go”. Shortly after creating that track, the duo decided to craft more songs in that vain before the DMV’s most prolific son began work on his third official LP.

“The Memo (Move Me)” is a brutally honest commentary on the state of Hip-Hop music and the lack of substance found in the output from both mainstream and underground scenes. Here Substantial offers his view and encourages artists to take the inspiration that they were given and use it to inspire others regardless of your choice of medium. Burns laces Sub with an airy, mystic like soundscape, which is the perfect canvas for his baritone vocals.

Substantial/Burns, will be released as a digital-exclusive on October 20, 2009. It features appearances from Extended Famm, Kokayi, Steph the Sapphic Songstress & others. Stay tuned to QN5.com for the official tracklisting, exclusives and more!

[PLEASE READ] Thanks & A Few Answers 2 Your Questions...

Peace BP,

I wanted to take a few minutes to say thanks for adding me and for the compliments/support.  I really appreciate it.  Especially to those of you who took the time out to listen to my music. 

I also want to thank the folks at BP and DJ Trends for supporting me ever since I came on here (BP) promoting my music.

But I also want to use this opportunity to answer a few questions and clear up a few things...

1. Yes I'm married.  I'm on BP solely to promote my music.  No more, no less.
2. My stage name is Substantial.
3. I will be on tour again this Fall (US & Canada).  If you are interest in booking me (Clubs, colleges, etc.), please send an email to tour@qn5.com
4. For Radio & Internet Radio interviews please contact me via email at: substantial@qn5.com
5. For those interested in purchasing my music, my album Sacrifice is available at FYE.  For digital purchases (which is the best bet), my music can be found on Amazon.com & iTunes
6. I don't do IM on BP.
7. I won't respond to every note.  Not because I mean to be rude but because over the last few days I went from under 1000 friends to between 50,000 to 100,000.  I'm a indy artist, so I do this by myself and it's a bit overwhelming at times.  Thanks for understanding.
8. If you are interested in getting feedback from me or interacting with me or other fans/supporters of my music, please do so by joining my forum: http://qn5.com/discuss/viewforum/26/
9. If you wish to submit beats for my upcoming releases, please send your submissions to substantial@qn5.com
10. Yes I am on other sites as well.  Feel free to visit me, befriend, etc. on all of the sites...
    Myspace, Last.fm, Twitter, Facebook, Blackplanet (My Official Music page), iLike, Imeem, & Reverbnation
    
    My Official Site is www.Substantial-Music.com

So that's that for now.  Again, I want to thank all of you for even taking the time to listen to my music.  I take my craft very seriously and work extremely hard for myself and my family.  I don't do this to be cool, I do it because I love it.  So, I hope I keep you all as fans but I understand if that's not what some of you are here for.

May your future be as bright as the smiles you where...

Stay in Peace,
Substantial
