SoulStice – NoH8 Prod. by Mighty

As SoulStice explains, “it wasn’t long ago that my wife and I couldn’t have gotten married in the US . Today’s ‘free love’ struggle centers around the LGBT community and same-sex marriage.” SoulStice recently took his advocacy for marriage equality a step further by joining the Los Angeles-based NOH8 Campaign, a photographic silent protest movement founded by celebrity photographer Adam Bouska and partner Jeff Parshley in response to Proposition 8 – the 2008 ban on same-sex marriage in the state of California . NOH8 has produced thousands of photos featuring supporters with duck-taped mouths – in a recent photoshoot, SoulStice has joined the “Familiar Faces” in the campaign including other notables such as Russell Simmons and Kathy Griffin.

To show his support, SoulStice has released a song called “NoH8,” with instrumentation by Mid-West producer Mighty Wyte, which was inspired by the photographic campaign. “NoH8” is available on iTunes and proceeds from the sale of the song will be donated to the campaign. According to SoulStice, “…marching in the LA Pride parade with Jeff and Adam and doing the NOH8 photoshoot was an experience my wife and son and I will never forget. By the time my son is old enough to understand the movement, I hope he has to wonder why we ever needed a NOH8 campaign in the first place.”
