Today, Caleborate shares “Soul,” the introspective and revealing first single from Real Person. Deploying a sing-song, yet conversational flow over a deeply hypnotic instrumental, Caleborate gives thanks to his supporters and his family, but ultimately decides that he is most comfortable when he is alone. The track echoes the project’s theme of remaining true to yourself when you attain success (“don’t let them take your soul, goddamn.”) With “iSpy” producer Lege Kale behind the boards, “Soul” seamlessly weaves between several samples, including a sample of Laura Nyro’s “Save The Country,” the same song Kanye West used as the basis for his 2007 cut “The Glory.” Premiered by LA Leakers, “Soul” is another chapter in Caleborate’s underdog story. If he keeps going at this rate, the streams, the sales, and the magazine covers will follow for this promising rapper.

Explains Caleborate, “I wrote ‘Soul’ in the beginning of the year, around when so much if my life was changing – I saw my dad for the first time in years, I was breaking up with my girl. I wrote it because it’s what I needed to do for myself but I realized it’s also something that other people might need to help themselves. It’s damn near spiritual. When I say ‘don’t let them take your soul,” I’m talking about people trying to steal your shine. It could be anyone trying to drag you down; your parents, your co-workers, people on the train, someone having a bad day…A lot of people can throw off your vibe if they aren’t on the same wave as you. They can take your soul, your juice, your flavor, the stuff that makes you, you. You’ve got to protect that.”
