Soul / Neo Soul Music from today's Male Artists

Men Of Neo Soul Part 1

Between 1997 and 2004, Philly was the hotspot for neo-soul music. I was in grad school at Temple University then and often visited this spot called The Five Spot, where every Tuesday, they had live performances from mostly local Philly artists. The cover was only $5, and for that, you would get to see artists like Jill Scott, Jaguar Wright, Kindred and the Family Soul, The Jazzyfatnastees, The Roots, and many others perform with local house bands. Those were some of the best years of my life. This mix features the type of musical vibes being played weekly. The set was called Black Lily because it showcased mostly Black female artists who were being shut out of jam sessions around the country then. Enjoy:)

I even threw in some off-the-cuff blends in the spirit of my brother DjDanny Dee 🔥—pure vibe, no script.

Sounds from the 7th Planet

Ruction Banton and My Music Presents

“Chiron” is a celestial odyssey through sound and soul — a twelve-track journey tracing the wounds, lessons, and healing power of each astrological sign.
Drawing inspiration from the myth of Chiron, the wounded healer, each song channels an ancient rhythm of transformation: pain turned into wisdom, struggle into compassion, and individuality into collective harmony.
From fire to water, air to earth, every track opens a door to inner repair, designed to help listeners feel, reflect, and ascend.

1. Aries – The Fire Reborn

The flame of courage reignited. The wound of identity transforms into fearless self-acceptance. A pulse of rhythm and revolution — learning that true power begins within.

2. Taurus – Root of Gold

From scarcity to abundance. The wound of insecurity heals through grounded self-worth. A song of stability, sensuality, and the quiet confidence of knowing your own value.

3. Gemini – The Voice Within the Wind

Where silence once held fear, now truth finds melody. The wound of communication evolves into the gift of language, curiosity, and authentic self-expression.

4. Cancer – Moon Inside Mi Chest

An anthem for the heart. The wound of belonging becomes emotional sanctuary. Through self-nurture and love, the listener finds safety within their own soul.

5. Leo – Solar Heart

The hidden radiance returns. The wound of invisibility melts under self-love. This is the music of light rediscovered — joy as an act of courage, creativity as healing.

6. Virgo – Perfectly Flawed

The perfectionist’s release. The wound of never-enoughness heals through grace and self-compassion. A rhythm for those who learn that divinity lives in imperfection.

7. Libra – Equal Ground

The balance restored. The wound of rejection softens into harmony. This song reminds us that peace isn’t found in others — it begins with inner equality and honest love.

8. Scorpio – Phoenix Water

Darkness into dawn. The wound of betrayal transforms into self-mastery. This track dives deep into the underworld of emotion and emerges renewed, whole, and powerful.

9. Sagittarius – The Archer’s Flame

A seeker’s redemption. The wound of lost faith finds direction again. The rhythm burns with expansion, truth, and the laughter of freedom reborn.

10. Capricorn – The Mountain Speaks

Discipline meets purpose. The wound of failure matures into wisdom. A grounded hymn for those who turn struggle into structure, and endurance into enlightenment.

11. Aquarius – Star People

Rebellion reborn as compassion. The wound of alienation transforms into visionary unity. This song celebrates the beauty of the different — the ones who change the world.

12. Pisces – Ocean Prayer

The circle completes. The wound of disconnection dissolves into divine love. This final wave invites surrender, faith, and the healing calm of universal belonging.

Leo - Solar Heart
