    (April 13, 2017) Over the past couple years, we've introduced SoulTrackers to soul artist, poet and all around Renaissance Man, Tai Allen. A tough artist to categorize, Tai mixes elements of soul, hip-hop and more in his eclectic work.

    Mr. Allen has a new project out that combines a book of his poetry with a musical soundtrack. He leads off the musical part with “The Drinking Song,” an infectious song about…well, probably what you think.
