Blending hip-hop, R&B, soul and melodic electronic sounds, Monte Booker highlights a percussion-heavy, sample-free sound that is unable to be imitated.

The 20-year-old producer who has been providing some of the finest instrumental backdrops for Chicago's music scene brings you the 16th installation of our White Label Series.

“While creating this White Label I was definitely influenced by lots of jazz – primarily because of how innovative it is, electronic sounds and Flying Lotus. In fact, Flying Lotus should just be a genre at this point lol.”

 Monte brings a couple of new artists along with him on this installation – Ravyn Lenae and Smino are “really close friends with amazing talent” – the trio goes by "zero fatigue” and have created a collective based out of the South Side of Chicago.

Stay tuned for more timeless sounds and good vibes from Monte Booker.

2016….

This has been a very interesting and strange year for us as a whole. Full of ups and downs, to dealing with mona lisa smiles, to learning how this industry works, it's all a learning experience. We’re not here for the industry stuff, we’re here for the music. We appreciate everyone of our supporters and we thank you for riding with us. We’re getting back to how we started and how we will be moving forward, mad music.

To kick off the new era of Soulection we’re happy to share a story by Monte Booker and Naji. This is just a glimpse of what these two and the entire Soulection Family has in store for 2017. 

Enjoy the vibes

Lyrics:

Hook:

Ice cream

Chocolate

GoDiva

Verse 1:
Turn up da va la umee
Dis feel like hallaleuahh
Cue da choir too
I'm off da holy oil
Fried like el pollo
I gotta chicken coupe
Dip out interior bbq
Im fly why she want the cockatoo
And das on my byrd like a beak my guy
Standing ovate how they greet my guys
Straight out da mud like a cleat no lie
Neva had time for the teeter kind
On da fence like vines
Wanna camouflage
Niggas hotel lobbying
Smelling like loud around republicans
Like why it ain't no niggas workin obvious
Jus hella hmm hm smiles and mutterin
If it ain't blood to me you bothering
If u ain't kuz to me you cluttering
And i been really tryna be moe tolerant
Moe positive prolly need to switch up kountries
But you know why I’m here
I might go beast mode
Cop a couple seats out to heathrow
Out in shoreditch w/ da shit
Ain't no shortage on da stick
Lil boo i know u gone

Hook:
(Lemme cut on dis)
Anita
I need her
So flee
Don’t flea from me
(servin them looks cold as )
Ice cream
(Show dat)
Chocolate

GoDiva
Godiva
GoDiva

Verse 2:
(Spotlight noise)
Bing
Wen da spotlite beam on ya
Green lite on you betta

Cha cha ching
How da money chine ring
When ya feet beat pavement
To da gold

Gold

Gold

Don’t got da time for da delay
Hopping around inna sack race
Bro keep that kane like lorenz tate
He went overload over da oberwise
Nigga at his lowest gave me word to wise
Told me none a dis matter unless
Family blessed
Watch all dese niggas that beat on dey chest
They flex thru da stress
I guess

Verse 3:
I been raw
Its genetic
Its my denim

Wine up pon ya
Tryna fit up
Up in em
Witcha
Ackin innocent
Bet u interested
Stretch u like a limo
Da memo neva
Switch or slowed da tempo
Zero gang wit me where i go

All da friendly shit

Bidness straight across
12:30 o’clock

1000 miles an hour
Onna spaceship

High 4 Da Highladays

Sleigh (with Monte Booker & Masego)

Smino is an anomaly of sorts: a neo-soul rapper, a new-school vet and with just two studio albums under his belt he has undoubtedly earned the designation of a career artist. Since the release of his debut album blkswn (2017), he has continued to innovate unique sounds, flows and even vernacular - encouraging fans to "Smi-save" his latest single 90 Proof. Smino's distinctive Southern drawl can hypnotize listeners but behind it lies a potent pen game, where he weaves together romance with dashes of comedy, doused in realness. His latest album, Luv 4 Rent, boasts features from J.Cole, TDE’s new signee, Doechii and more but fans are most ready for Smino’s whimsical wordplay. Luv 4 Rent promises to reveal new depths from one of the coolest creatives in music.
