{
03/21/04 } I got this article from
mtv.com. Female rapper Solé, who got her big break as JT Money's
counterpart in his "Who Dat" video, will hook up once again with JT -- this time
for her new single and video, "4,5,6." Also I got some articles written on the
internet on Solé and Ginuwines wedding, G and Solé have decided to tie
the knot in a secret wedding ceremony, BET has confirmed. Read all the
articles here. Also updated
facts. {
}
{
03/20/04 } Thx to Christa
baby :), we have this really good article on Solé. "That relationship - with
a childhood friend she met through one of her brothers - was a life-altering
experience. Her two girls, 7-year-old Dejan and 4-year-old Cypress, were born
out of it. It helped Solé realize that there are some things you can't control
and that there are some people who can't or won't change. The experience took
its toll on her. She became a near recluse, skipping meals, staying with
different people and dropping weight. "If you can think of a definition for
clinical depression, that was me, not caring whether I lived or died. At that
point, the only thing that kept me going was my daughters." Wow... amazing,
we're always here for you Solé! Read
more? Also write down your comments about this article! {
}
{
03/17/04 } I've updated Fanographys with a tight biography of Solé written by
Dee. "Sole, Born Tonya Johnston Is nothing less of a rap phenomenon. Her drop
dead gorgeous looks, down to earth persona and skin chilling smile you would
hardily believe she grew up a tomboy. Setting herself far apart from the rest of
the crop with her no nonsense lyrics and hyper speed rap flow. One can just tell
by the technique used in her tracks that this Kansas City native is no rookie.
Selling close to 3 Million albums and Singles worldwide, being compared to the
best of the best is just the beginning. Her Midwest anthem "Who dat" that
featured JT Money was the hottest rap song in 1999, receiving the most spins on
rap radio as well as selling more copies than any other rap single that year.
The single went platinum in just four (4) weeks, boosting Sole in to
superstardom. Solé soon followed up her success with her solo single "4,5,6,".
The blazing single that had ladies calling their men just to chant the hook.
With lyrics that kept you wanting more, and a hot steamy video that displayed a
softer more sensual side of Solé, it was easy to see this was not just a one hit
wonder. Urban radio soaked the single up like water on a sponge. Dream works
released the single and in weeks it climbed the charts and sold over 800,000
copies to date. In The Winter of 1999 Solé's debut album "Skin Deep" hit stores.
With her platinum painted body displayed on the front cover It was hard to
ignore her. The Album sold over 500,000 copies and featured a female rapper who
could go toe to toe with some of the biggest male rappers to date. with hardcore
songs like "Accurate Math", "Never Thought I" and The tongue twister "Iy Yi Yi"
and Emotional true to life stories like "We've' been trying to long and "For The
Love of You". This album was clearly superior than any other female album
released that year". Wanna read more?
Also make sure you check out his website called
My Solé,
It's hot! Leave a comment at let us know what you think of his biography on Solé,
thanks :)!
{ 03/16/04 } I've updated

photos. Also there's some really cute pictures of my little cousins holding
Solé's Skin Deep album. Also I haven't heard from Solé for awhile she's probably
very busy with the girls and her new album. Make sure you leave her messages at
her
message board

Solé
posted an important message at her official message board, here's the message she left for us: "Hi
everyone, its Sole' dropping in to say hi!!! I've missed you all so much... I've
been so busy but I've been wanting to come by and post for a while now. Anyway,
the last couple years of my life have been amazing with many up's and downs and
I came here to share a tiny piece of that with you all... since I was a child, I
knew I had a calling that was higher than I realized at the time. I always had a
very close relationship with God and saw Him working in my life. As I got older,
I strayed from what His plans were for me and although I never abandoned Him and
always prayed and gave thanks, I'm sure my life wasn't pleasing to Him. I've
made some poor choices as we all have and I've learned from them and some of
them I've shared with others through my music. I've never been a bad person and
I try to please everyone but in doing so, I was neglecting to try to please God
and running from what His purpose was for me. About two years ago, I was working
on my second album and I couldn't be creative... I just didn't feel right every
time I tried to work. I was really confused as to what I wanted to do and how I
wanted it to come off.... it was God working on me though.... from that time
until now, I have been being convicted in my spirit of a lot of things...
especially concerning my music. Although I always meant well, I wasn't doing
right. Some people wont agree with me but I know how powerful music is and it
has the power to make you feel all kinds of emotions and impress different
things in your mind and heart and I don't want to be putting anything negative
or sinful on anyone's hearts... I don't want to glorify sinful things.... I will
not be responsible for leading people down the wrong path.. even though my music
had positively in it.. there was a lot of cursing and things not pleasing to God
also and i will not do that any more. My music will still be inspiring to people
... especially my girls, but if you hear me talking about making love or things
like that, it will be about my husband... there will be no cursing and
glorification of sin... I will talk about real life things but it will always be
putting it in a positive light... representing it in a way that will be pleasing
to God.. a way that He would want us to deal with it because we can glorify Him
in all we do... He finds happiness in all human emotions and enjoyment as long
as its not sinful because He created it. I cannot live for anyone but Him and my
family and I have a husband and 4 girls to be accountable to after God and I
choose to be a Godly example to them all... If you look up to me as an artist,
then look up to God and praise Him because it is only by His grace that I will
be able to bring music and inspiration to you... Also if you are a fan of my
husband, pray that he will continue to move in a positive direction with his
music also. I will still bring it to you in a way that you can enjoy and relate
to but I will be more responsible in what I put out there also. I hope all of
you will continue to support me and I hope in the process I will be able to
touch some of your lives like I would have never been able to without allowing
God to work on me.. I love you all and I will continue to post weekly and I will
also start posting some inspirational thoughts and quotes each week.... God
bless you all :) Love Sole'" Now that's deep, no one can complete. WOW Solé
you the bomb girl keep it up we got ya back! You may click
here to see the
message at her board, and make sure you leave her a message. {
}
{ 02/26/04 } Wow, I called Solé today and didn't expect her to pick it
up at all. I talked to her for 10 minutes. We talked about the kids to her new
album. Story is in gymnastics now and Dream is walking around and she can talk,
she's been saying Mamma and Daddy (aww). She said all the girls look so different
now and they're so much bigger. I am not posting the whole conversation but here
is one minute of it, click here to listen, do not
email me requesting to hear the whole conversation because you wont get it,
sorry but I aint gonna post the whole conversation because I respect Solé and I
wouldn't wanna do that without her permission, I might type it out though. I know
I sound funny, but damn I was so nervous, what do you expect? She told me to
call her back tomorrow morning for more info cause her battery was running out,
so I will have more info tomorrow and hopefully a message from her. Leave your
comments and let me know what you think! {
}
{ 02/25/04 } Added new
blinki's and
graphics. Also I've noticed no
one is posting comments, tags, or message in my guestbook. I moved my tag board,
If you check on the right hand of this site where it says "Quick Site Links" you
will see a link that says TagMe, click that to post a tag.
{ 02/24/04 }
Listen to Solé live! I've put this video on Strictly Solé in the past but I'm
sure everyone didn't get the chance to check it out. "I don't want or need your
dough, can you just respect my flow..." This video is off the hook! Now if you
haven't been to a Solé concert, like me, you will be amazed how she can rock the
stage! This is her FIRST performance ever, It's in new York City at the Black
Expo on June 18, 2000. First she performs Accurate Math remix and after that It's 4,5,6 Remix!
This video is very low quality and kind of old, but its better then nothing,
