Stacy Epps

Finally a January 2008 review. And how long a wait it has been, sorry! Thanks to Rah of soulBEAUTIFULinc for sending Soulisms this download. It is a one song review taken from a new progressive, hip-hop/soul artist called Stacy Epps from Atlanta, Georgia. Reminds you of Aaliyah, Timbaland and a bit of the Little Brother vibe. She sings and raps. Floatin is an interesting song, good production, no complaints! With intelligent lyrics, beats, and serious musical approach. Floatin should get your head nodding. Hear big beats and bass lines, as Stacy Epps sings hypnotic style melodies. Her Stacy Epps Project is coming soon in 2008 on Japan Nubia Musik. Floatin is produced by Apex.
