In the five years that Solos Records has been an independent Bay area label, we have learned a lot. Not everything, but a lot more then when we put out our first record. With countless shows and eight official releases behind us we are ready for our stars to shine.This summer, Solos Records releases our second full-length compilation, Solos in Stereo II, a showcase of our label's artists with guest artist appearances from around the world. From Bookworms' futuristic, sample-based beats, and CB Radio's ethereal dance tracks, to Yao's soul-inspired vignettes and Roche's forward-thinking approach to hip-hop.

In addition to original tracks by the seven artists currently signed to Solos Records, Solos in Stereo II includes guest appearances by Rhode Island's up and coming duo Javelin, Chicago MC's Pugslee Atomz and Wes Restless, and the Bay Area's very own MC/musician Jonesy.
