Striking a balance between storytelling and lyrical showmanship, SO IAM’s sound is a unique blend of the vocal talents of artists such as Snoop Dogg, Ludacris, Jay-Z, and Method Man with the lyrical stylings of his favorite artists Redman, Wu-Tang, and Lauryn Hill. SO IAM gained a reputation as one of the most talented artists in a cypher showcasing his off-the top freestyle ability on stage and backyard parties.
