Sol is a hip hop artist from Seattle, Washington, whose understated lyrics, exuberant performances, and diverse instrumentation have solidified him among the leaders of the northwest music scene. 2012 marked a transcendent year for Sol’s career, starting with the highly anticipated independent album Yours Truly (1/20/12), which quickly rose to #1 on iTunes US Hip-Hop Chart (#4 worldwide) and debuted on Billboard’s Heatseekers Albums chart. Following a west coast tour, as well as performances before a ruckus crowd at Live Nation’s Sasquatch Music Festival and a sold out farewell show at Seattle’s Showbox at the Market, Sol left the United States on a ten month globe-trotting hiatus as part of the Bonderman Honors Travel Fellowship he was awarded at the University of Washington. Ten months and ten countries later, Sol returned to the United States, evolved and inspired. Now equipped with a world of perspective, Sol is ready to share his newest project, Eyes Open, available now.

Sol – Tomorrow feat. Shayhan Lyrics:
I’m chilling on the rooftop
Came a long way from the boom docks
And I grew up on that 2Pac
So I rock California Love in my boom box
The crew was too hot
Locked behind bars, diplomas with moon shots
Just know your boy hit stars
Went to school but not as much as he spin bars
Split lives, not including the sex drive
Too wise, the music and the jet life
Travel bug, gotta move in where the check signs
Soundtrack to the movie of the best times
P.S. I know I’m blessed, never had an S on my chest
Simply invested in myself
So much that a brother almost burned out
Life living right now
Never been the type to get tied down
That’s why I’m on the map tryna evolve
You can bet I be back when the beat drops
It ain’t about where you’ve been
It’s all about where you’re going
Even when shit gets hard
I’MMA BE BACK TOMORROW
It ain’t about where you’ve been
It’s all about where you’re going
Even when shit gets hard
I’MMA BE BACK TOMORROW
Forget about the gangster shit
Forget about the money and the bank forbid
Think about all the places you’ve been
The people you’ve met, how they changed how you live
Everywhere you go, you can bring the world with you
With those that came before buried deep within you
Living in the future, we forget it all the time
We stand on the shoulders of ancestors and giants
I ain’t lying, I’m praying to feel the weight of my privilege
So I’m soaking up game every day on my pilgrimage
I tell myself you’re the shit but you ain’t shit special
Because I’m on the stage you put me on a pedestal
The fame will do a number to your ego
I’m just tryna stay humble with the people
Put the guns down, bring the peace out
Everybody get free when the beat bounce
It ain’t about where you’ve been
It’s all about where you’re going
Even when shit gets hard
I’MMA BE BACK TOMORROW
It ain’t about where you’ve been
It’s all about where you’re going
Even when shit gets hard
I’MMA BE BACK TOMORROW
She give me love like don’t leave yet
I was already on the next jet
Sao Paolo tomorrow for my birthday
But I can’t lie, holidays are the worst days
Never feel alone when I’m with you
I wrote a hundred songs when I missed you
Still I left you but you can trust that
No matter where I go, I’mma come back
I’mma come back
I’mma come back
You can trust that
No matter where I go, I’mma come back
And all you do, and all you do. And all you do, and all you do.
