Synopsis
Album Description
Japanese Version Featuring A Bonus Track: Our World (Remix).
"I know this album is old, but I was jamming to it in my car the other day and had to write a review. When this album first came out in '99 I really thought Sole would be the new woman to represent females in Hip Hop. It's been 6 years, and with the exception of hearing about her getting married to Genuine she has vanished from the public eye. Her debut album Skin Deep is not to be slept on. She is tough, but her femininity still shines through. She has her own sound, and did not see the need to try to sound like anyone else. I remember when I first heard her on JT Money's track Who Dat (which is on her album as well) I was impressed by her voice. She also did not let her beauty hinder her tough edge one bit. In fact I would say it motivated her to not be just another pretty face trying to be a hip hop artist.
She has some good flows. She let's you know she is not to be messed over, and unlike some other female hip hop artist did not resort to being downright nasty, and trifling. I'm really disappointed she has not released another CD, but hope she will eventually. I still run Skin Deep, the CD is really good.

"If had known that this CD would've been so hot, I wouldn't have waited so long to get it. I am shocked that this didn't get more airplay in my area (DC, when I bought it)! The lyrics are great and so are the beats. After listening, you can't deny that Sole is talented, she has a really great voice for delivering dope lyrics. Although I like all the songs on this album, my favorites are #3,5,7,9,10,11...well the list goes on, I can't really pick just one. If you buy this CD and really listen to the lyrics, you'll have the same problem."
Sole is tha bomb

"underrated, sole is a good rapper and i really look forward to her second cd. sole is unique she came out hard when she came out in 99. and she set herself different then other female rappers which is cool. her cd is cool as hell once you get into it it will have you bobbing your head and relating to what she is saying. the interlude is funny and the song cool as hell. so hopefully anyone reading this review will give sole a chance."
SOLE PLEASE COMEBACK TO HIP/HOP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"I remember when I first got the single 4,5,6 the non-edited version. I was like this women is awesome. Being a female myself, I had to go get her entire album right away. I would bump it in my car all the time. Even guys was sprung off sole looks and lyrical genius. Someone stole my cd back in 2003. I went back to the music stores and could not find her cd anywhere. I have been looking all this time. It is 2008, I am 39 years old now, and I'm still sprung off her rapping ability. I play the song of 4, 5, 6 all the time on my ipod. I even tried finding her on itunes with no luck. I finally found it on Amazon today 10/15, 2008. Thank God for Amazon. I have been waiting for Sole to come out with a 2nd album for years!!!!! Sole, I understand your married with children now, but hip/hop females rappers need your help desperately. PLEASE COME OUT OF RETIREMENT (IF THAT WHAT YOUR ON!!! I MEAN IT IN A NICE WAY!!!)and blast them up and coming new artist and old with what real rapping talent is. Hell, you and genuwine need to come out with a singing and rapping song together. If Chante Moore and Kenny Lattimore can come out with a couple album why can't ya'll. I think your married collaboration's would be HOT HOT HOT!!!!!!!"
I agree she needs more recognition
