We met up with New Jersey rapper and creative Sol ChYld to talk about her lifelong journey with music, shooting her shot to open for Jill Scott (and landing the gig!), and so much more. Sol ChYld is a staple of the East Coast rap community, and we are so grateful to have this special conversation with her!
