Soul Khan has made his name mostly through battle rap specifically with Grind Time. Soul hails from the west coast and is mostly known for his quirky battle raps and on stage antics. One of which is to battle his opponents dressed in a white tuxedo complete with top hat. Like most of the rappers associated with Grind Time, Khan is also trying to make a go at a rap career but not everyone transfers over well. Soul Khan does very well and has a very New York old school style about im which is strange considering he is from LA. His most recent mix-tape Soul Like Khan (2010) features old school NY beats laced with clever and goofy lines from Khan.
Like I've said im a sucker for a good opening song and Soul delivers after his intro with "Fe La Soul". This beat pretty much lets you know what the mix-tape is about so if you don't enjoy might be a bad idea to quit while your ahead. This is followed by great tracks like "Placed That Birthed Me" and "Fahrenheit". My only complaint is that the lyrics have the tendency to get a little silly but if you have seen him battle rap it comes as no surprise. Not that all of his rhymes are silly, there are plenty of times that Khan is deep. Though these times What would you expect from a guy that wears a tuxedo during his battles? All free so enjoy Soul Like Khan.
