Sole

Real Name:
Tim Holland
Profile:
Anticon's catalyst and business bad boy, sole has big ambitions and a working man's wallet. By age 14 he was a young don of the Portland, Maine rap game, serving high school seniors in ciphers at lunchtime. He has since traded in his battle rhymes for heartfelt words and an unmistakable hoarse voice. Whether he is cloaked in the goth-hop darkness of alias production or riding the rhythmic intensity of jel beats, sole's is some of the most emo-honest rap has ever been.
