On April 2nd, 2021, breakthrough hip-hop artist Cedric Des is dropping his soulful debut single, 'Soul Glow' — a powerful, unapologetic anthem that proves the rising star isn't scared to be vulnerable. 'Soul Glow,' the lead single from Des's upcoming debut album dropping in summer 2021, is a hard-hitting source of light and optimism in the wake of a challenging year, emotionally and sociopolitically. 

"I wrote this song for the black and brown human who is desperately longing to be free to exist and express themselves without fear of judgment, discrimination or rejection." — CEDRIC DES 

Des's soulful debut pushes for unity and continues fighting for peace, love, and equality. The album itself stays true to the hip-hop genre. 

"This upcoming album was inspired by a deep desire to speak the truth, to encourage people that look like me, and educate people who don't look like me.  — CEDRIC DES 

Produced by world-class drummer, Kenaniah (@kenaniah), the production on the album balances real acoustic instruments and synthetic sounds to create a sound that feels real. This authenticity is essential because if there's one thing Cedric Des is, it's real. And the world needs more of him. 'Soul Glow' will be available to stream and purchase from April 2nd, 2021.
