hours can lead to mastery. One thing we should master is giving love to those
who love us. 10,000 Flowers. One Flower Per Hour. Love with the intent of
mastering it. Wake Up. Press Play. Love Yours. One.”

their collaborative project titled ‘Medicine for the Soul.’ The 14-track album
features Popko, Sweetness, Daniel Rosler, Suspect, Lambo Lo, Paulie, and GTS. Check out our latest interview detailing the
album along with visuals for the leading single “Serenity.”
MJ: You hit fans with something different and
innovative with this new album “Medicine for the Soul". You curated a
captivating blend of R&B and Hip Hop. Talk about the album and the mindset
behind creating it.
Stream/download “Medicine
for the Soul” hereon preferred platforms
TySoul: Both Maine and myself already collaborated on
multiple records before this album, and everything we made together came out
great. So, we thought, why not make a full project together, and we did just
that. Myself being a Chris Brown fan, I wanted to add a new school R&B
flare to the album, while having Maine add his old-school influences along with
his amazing lyricism.
Maine: being from New York, Hip-Hop and R&B go hand
and hand. Like Nas and Lauryn, Meth and Mary, Father MC with Jodeci, and the
list goes on and on. We just wanted to bring that feeling back.
MJ: You enlisted an elite selection of producers
for the album, with an incredible ability to orchestrate soundscapes that
heighten the raw emotion and impeccable lyricism. Talk about that, as well as
how you two linked up.
TySoul: We originally linked up nearly a decade ago from
a mutual contact, we never collaborated at the time, but we did a few shows
together. Years later Maine called me to come into JL Studios to do a hook for
Mercy Gang and after that, it was a wrap…
Maine: We worked with a handful of producers including Know-
it beats and Da Leadgeon who helped us blend that Hip Hop and R&B with
today's twist. Plus, we both get busy with the pen!
MJ:Was the
goal of the album to expand your fan base by stepping out of the box? Was it to
display your versatility as artists and your agility to steer in different
lanes?
TySoul: I think both of us somewhat stepped out of our
comfort zones for the better. I was able to experiment with a more commercial
sound rather than the old-school R&B type influences that were prevalent in
my first album “Two-Sided.” I feel that we both displayed our versatility but
also stayed true to our artistry.
Maine: I feel as an MC I should be able to adapt to any
genre while still being me.
MJ:What
single off the album do you anticipate taking off both on charts and with
listeners/fans?
TySoul: I think that “Addicted” or “Don’t You” are two of
our more heartfelt records. Both talk about relationship-based content but also
have an upbeat flow and awesome production.
Maine: “Serenity” is going to make a statement because it
deals with some crucial issues going on in the world now. “Addicted”, “Old
Thing Back”, and “Move Ya Body” are extraordinarily strong records as well.
MJ: Take a minute to reflect and share anything
else about "The Medicine for the Soul”
TySoul: This project personally helped me to experiment with
rapping more. Maine pushed and encouraged me to spit a few bars, and I was able
to rap a few good verses on this album. Even through this pandemic, we stayed
motivated and in touch, which enabled us to finish this project strong and in
time when we were able to return to the studio.
Maine: We want people and our fans to get that great
feeling listening to our music. We’re just trying to put authentic Hip Hop and
R&B back on the map.
Special thanks
to Dan Rosler, Amanda Rogan, Lambo Lo, Suspect, Gus, and Paulie…#RIPHefty
