Georgia artist Resource steps aside from his group FTGU, a duo composed of Resource and his twin brother Jam, to share a solo EP titled Soul. Inspired by J Dilla and DJ Premiere, Resource tenaciously searched for beats throughout the web to put together the soothing sound Soul delivers. Production credits go out to Ricky Vela, Tom Misch, BluntedBeatz, Tom Misch, and James Beau Barclay.

The 5-track body of work was created in Resource’s bedroom studio, with the only feature on the project being Jam on “What Up”. Check out the music video for “What Up” here. “I’m giving what I got until there’s nothing left/Every now and then, my life is such a mess,” Resource spits.

Asking listeners to search within themselves, Resource is introspective and relatable all while remaining melodic in every song. “Right Now,” a stand-out cut that appears fourth on the project, is an upbeat, motivational single that has great potential. The EP though short, is quite an experience that is worth a listen. Stream below!
