Mother Nature (Who's That)

Soulful Playground was created by veteran hip-hop music producer & artist, Chris Vermillion. Producing tracks featuring Moka Only, Finale, Bonecrusher, Lil' Jon, T-Max the Novelist, and other notable artists as well as providing music for MTV, ESPN, YES Network, and other TV shows, Chris Vermillion has enjoyed an eclectic career to this point.

In 2018 Chris released a series of projects under his other production alias "A Beautiful Ordinary." This collection highlighted his love for music, photography, and design including his first shoe release.
