Nostalgia meets nuance in this DIY soul-rap gem.
Dropped in September 2023, Soul Food Sundae, Vol. 1 is the kind of project that doesn’t ask for your attention—it earns it. Recorded and mixed in his bedroom, with beats plucked from the treasure troves of YouTube, RaSean Parks blends the hunger of an independent grind with the warmth of old-school soul, funk, and hip-hop. The result? A heartfelt, genre-fluid EP that feels like dinner at grandma’s house with a boombox in the corner.

“Music for the soul is what best describes this release.”
That’s RaSean’s own assessment, and it’s spot-on. Long Road opens the EP with a slow-burn reflection on his artistic journey—relatable, personal, and honest. Run For Your Money keeps that energy, asking tough questions about ambition and sacrifice. Then Anyone Can Get It flips the script—a club-ready anthem built to shake off bad vibes. The EP closes with Moon Song, a swooning love track featuring Ambar Cassidy, bringing romance into the mix like a sweet after-dinner slow jam.
Home-cooked, hand-crafted, and full of flavour.
Inspired by Kendrick Lamar, OutKast, and GoldLink, RaSean’s flow and lyricism are deceptively simple. There's wisdom in the verses, but the grooves carry them gently. Each song was sparked while heading to or from work—proof that inspiration doesn’t need a studio to strike. It just needs an artist who’s listening.
Soul Food Sundae isn’t just a title—it’s a feeling.
From North Carolina roots to neo-soul aspirations, RaSean Parks has carved out a sound that feels as much about self-discovery as it is about musical expression. Vol. 1 is just the beginning, but it’s already a deeply satisfying start.
