Soul Glo Share New Single “Driponomics” Feat. Mother Maryrose

Forget what you thought music should sound like, and forget attempting to pigeonhole Philadelphia’s Soul Glo as just a post-hardcore outfit anymore or as just one thing because the group defies classification. The group has released their latest single, “Driponomics,” ahead of their fourth studio album Diaspora Problems (Epitaph) due out on March 25th.

This scathing commentary on capitalism and economic disparity is contrasted with the prevalence of hypebeast culture, listing popular designers and brands in between screeching distortion and a heavy bassline. The track also features a verse from fellow Philly native, rapper Mother Maryrose.

Soul Glo explains that “Driponomics is for everyone doing what they have to do to get by and to get fly. Oftentimes lower-income and working-class people are criticized for how they survive out here, especially in times of crisis. People are getting more desperate but simultaneously more creative with their income options, and this song is a salute to that. Love to Mother Maryrose whose verse on this song is one of the best moments on our album.”
