The first signing to upstart label Soulmate Records, Boltz of A-Diction, is expanding his debut EP into an LP for release in the first quarter of 07. Still titled The Wishlist, the revised full-length features a guest shot from locked-up Detroit spitter Royce Da 5′9” and beats from M-Phazes (Bliss n Eso, Supastition, Kenn Starr), Muneshine (Canada), Weapon X, Trials of Funkoars, Stylaz Fuego and Mules. An early listen to the EP revealed crisp beats and thoroughly developed writing. Particularly notable was a politically charged A-Diction reunion track.
Soulmate is Melbourne based, and The Wishlist will be distributed by Inertia. Also on the Soulmate roster is Brisbane-based producer Stat D, who has hustled his beats onto upcoming releases from 13th Son, NFa and freestyle wunderkind 360.
