Soul of the Streets (SOTS): The Living Archive of Culture
Soul of the Streets (SOTS) is more than a podcast—it is a culture-driven living archive documenting the voices that shape R&B and…
Hip-Hop. Established in 2014, the platform has spent over a decade preserving the stories, artistry, and moments that define the culture while recognizing emerging voices before the spotlight arrives.
The platform’s legacy includes identifying cultural moments before the world catches on. In April 2014, months before the “Shmoney Dance” became a global phenomenon, Bobby Shmurda and Rowdy Rebel won the Soul of the Streets “Rock Yo Set” competition at the legendary Pyramid Club in New York City performing the record that would later become the NYC classic “Computers.” Moments like this reflect the platform’s commitment to documenting the culture while it is still unfolding.
Hosted by G Waterz—a veteran songwriter, vocalist, and artist manager behind BPE (Beyond Platinum Entertainment)—Soul of the Streets brings a perspective rooted in professional artistry and cultural stewardship. With professional credits including songwriting for Freddie Jackson and background vocals for Joe, G Waterz brings a creator’s understanding to every conversation.
With 500+ episodes and over a decade of consistent programming, Soul of the Streets bridges generations through in-depth interviews, cultural commentary, and curated music programming that documents the voices shaping music history.
Past guests include Valerie Simpson, Melba Moore, Karyn White, Ray Chew, Glenn Jones, Alyson Williams, 3× Grammy-winning producer Darius “Deezle” Harrison (Lil Wayne – Tha Carter III), and Grammy-nominated songwriter Dustin “Dab” Bowie (Beyoncé).
Weekly signature programming includes Hip-Hop Saturdays—featuring themed playlists and commentary reflecting the pulse of the culture—and R&B Sundays, celebrating legendary voices while spotlighting rising artists carrying the torch forward.
Distributed via RedCircle and available on Apple Podcasts, iHeartRadio, Amazon Music, TuneIn, and more, Soul of the Streets continues to serve as a living archive preserving the voices, stories, and music history shaping the culture today.
As the archive continues to grow, Soul of the Streets remains committed to discovering new voices and documenting the next chapter of R&B and Hip-Hop culture.
