Seemingly The Genesis of Soul was created independent of the bounds of time. From conception to fulfillment in less time than the natural birthing process. This record is proof that you can make a quality project without the cost that a major studio incurs. The Genesis of Soul was recorded in a Bronx, NY studio/bedroom and with a portable set up (Macbook Pro & Mbox) in a Brooklyn, NY living room.
