The new Warner Brother’s film “The Preacher’s Kid” hit theaters nationwide on January 29th, 2010. Why is this relevant you may ask? Well, you may have heard that local hip-hop artist Soulstice had a song featured in the recent smash “The Blind Side” which stars Sandra Bullock and depicts the struggles which Baltimore Raven’s offensive tackle (NFL) Michael Oher endured on his rise to stardom.

Its also relevant because Soulstice is a friend of mine and having heard him perform on a few occasions while marketing Vintage Limited in make-shift stores at the back of live venues Soulstice and I have had the chance to speak on issues concerning the music industry, the state of hip-hop, and life here in Baltimore. A few seconds into a conversation and you instantly get that he’s no slouch and has a collegiate background knowledgeable on many subjects. For the past few years we’ve kept in touch through email and events and Soulstice has been a supporter of ours. Take a look at our photo gallery and you can see a few shots of him rocking our Brown Classic tshirt at a local show. Another one on there shows Soulstice wearing the Rock is Steady tshirt during a tour in Italy in 2009. I was also informed that he wore one of our shirts on a tv appearance (more details to come regarding that).

“The funny thing about The Preacher’s Kid is that this was actually the first movie I placed a song in, it’s just taken this one forever to come out.” Soulstice said in a recent email to his fans. Apparently It took so long that he had actually forgotten about it until his Dad text messaged a reminder.

“The Preacher’s Kid” is a modern twist on the prodigal song story in which a preacher’s daughter leaves home to pursue her dream of being a singer.  The movie stars the singer Letoya Luckett (formerly of Destiny’s Child).  The photo here shows Letoya and Soulstice on the red carpet at an event in DC.

The movie features a remix of the Soulstice song “The Melody,” which was the first single he ever released back in 2003, on 12″ vinyl. The club-friendly remix featured in the movie was crafted by DMV producer Arsonal.  If you watch the movie trailer, you can hear the song play briefly around 1 minute: http://bit.ly/aBsWVx

You can hear the song in it’s entirety on his myspace page: www.myspace.com/soulstice (yes, musicians still use myspace even if the rest of us have left it far far behind ha)

Congrats Soulstice! Look forward to seeing you around the city. Who knows? Maybe Hollywood comes knocking?
