Meccathemanhimself & S.Ó.L – S.Ó.L M.E.C.C.A [EP]

The album S.Ó.L M.E.C.C.A by the duo Meccathemanhimself and S.Ó.L (Student Of Life) is an impressive triumph that reflects their distinctive musical talents through a combination of artistry, ingenuity, and perseverance. The duo’s musical prowess is on full display as they manage to create an album that is musically rich while also finding a sweet spot that resides squarely between the soul-steeped sound of conscious hip-hop and the spirit-rousing bang of today’s trap music. Their beats and rhymes are not only engaging but also thought-provoking, highlighting the importance of believing in yourself and following your dreams no matter what anyone else has to say.

The album commences with “INTRO!?“, a mid-tempo production that sets the tone for the rest of the album. After Mecca welcomes listeners with a “keep it playa” styled intro, S.Ó.L‘s direct and candid rhymes make it evident that the two-man team takes their art seriously and is committed to producing music that resonates with their clientele. The album continues with “ON REPEAT!?“, a haunting BVTMAN-produced track that combines ghostly keys and strings with thumping drums that glide along at a slow tempo. S.Ó.L‘s ebb and flow style of emceeing and Meccathemanhimself‘s rough and raspy tone blend seamlessly to deliver a powerful message about hard work and perseverance in life. “WAKE UP CALL!?” is an anthemic and galvanizing track that motivates its listeners to take action – not now but RIGHT NOW – and make a lasting impact on the world. Both emcees emphasize the significance of determination and focus in their verses, and their energy is chill but contagious. “TIME BOMB!?“, is a relatively more energetic, trap-inspired track that talks about being a person of your word and coming to terms with past mistakes. S.Ó.L‘s laid-back tone and Mecca‘s biblical references create a powerful message about working hard to be better every day.

“GIVE THANKS!?“, a soulful track, commences with an eerie intro before S.Ó.L’s soothing chorus takes over, offering valuable life advice. Repeating the mantra “Hey I got my bills paid! Yes lord!/ Pass me a blunt gotta get the stress off/ I know it ain’t enough, it’s some temporary healing/ Happy ain’t a place, it’s a muthafuckin’ feeling”, S.Ó.L makes it clear that it’s important to appreciate what you’ve got even when it’s just enough to get by. Meccathemanhimself‘s verse focuses on his personal journey of always believing in himself and doing whatever it took to get where he is today. “REWIND!?” changes things up with a laid-back neo-soul beat and emotive lyrics about lost loved ones, invoking feelings of nostalgia and reflection. S.Ó.L‘s verse in particular feels very personal as he talks about his now-deceased mother and the impact that her death had on him. The album concludes with “OUTRO!?“, a profound and introspective solo piece by Meccathemanhimself that speaks on persisting through dark days and the pain of betrayal from those he once trusted.

Ultimately S.Ó.L M.E.C.C.A is a testament to the talent and drive of two emcees who are determined to leave their mark on the music industry by producing music that is authentic, relatable, and inspiring. The album is a solid debut from the pair, and it will be interesting to see what they have in store for their future projects. It’s clear that both Meccathemanhimself and S.Ó.L are committed to making quality music that speaks to the soul and pushes others to expect more from their lives and the world around them. From the opening track to the last, this set is focused on themes of personal growth and determination, using words as tools to inspire instead of simply filling time with empty verses. Dope work indeed.
