Born in Los Angeles, raised in Philadelphia and now representing New Orleans, LA, lyricist Ben Brubaker now joins forces with DJ Miles Felix to form the hiphop MC/DJ combo- "Soul Capital".

The duo brings a fresh sound and style to the game with conscious, yet entertaining lyricism and beats that make you move. Soul Capital blends jazz, funk, and reggae into a tight hip-hop sound reminiscent of old school groups such as De La Soul and Digable Planets. Still, the young duo has already shown that they are ready to lead the new school with a more cutting edge sound that crosses over traditional boundaries. Heavily influenced by artists like Common, Tupac, Talib Kweli, Lupe Fiasco and others, Brubaker has fashioned a unique style of lyricism that is both genuine and refreshing in comparison to the increasingly monotonous urban music landscape. Pulling stylistic elements from the best, such as Dj Premier, Hi-Tek, Kanye West and Timbaland, DJ Miles Felix has quickly developed a style that is both hot and unique, versatile and consistent at the same time. DJ Felix spins live, weekly, at the Palms and Club Gritz in New Orleans, and has already started to gain recognition among a large audience in the New Orleans area, particularly within the college crowd.

The name, Soul Capital, stems from the duo's shared philosophy in many ways. The purpose of this group is to walk the fine line between mainstream appeal and still remain true to the soul of the music, its message and its fans. Soul Capital is all about learning how to succeed in music (or life in general) by recognizing the reality of what IS, and always striving for WHAT COULD BE, OR SHOULD BE. In other words, the neccesity of providing for one's self in order to get by in life while always striving for a more sustainable and soulful existence.
