“Ole E” certainly has soul. If there’s a such thing as ‘rap-soul,’ he has it.”—

Sid “Uncle Jamz” Johnson—C.E.O. of M.E.C.A.P., songwriter and music business

consultant

Suffice it to say, rapper and producer, Ole-E, is an old soul. The music of storytellers like

Marvin Gaye, Al Green, Curtis Mayfield and The Isley Brothers provided the soundtrack

to his childhood growing up in Albany, GA, where he was raised by his older mother,

his grandparents and when they all had passed, his mom’s younger sister. Having mature

mannerisms personified him as an old man, so his nicknames were “Granddad,” and then

Ole-E. Now, the self-described “Rappa-Sanga” also goes by “Stank Sinatra” because his

nasally, melodic flow style combines rapping and singing.

Ole-E attributes meeting music consultant and Grammy Award winning songwriter,

Sid “Uncle Jamz” Johnson as a pivotal career moment. In the late 90’s, Ole-E performed

with Suthern Klick on Southern House Records, an independent label owned by

Toney “Montana” Mosley in Albany. Under consultation from Johnson, Southern

House signed to MCA/Universal in 1998, and its groups, Suthern Klick and Field Mob

inked record deals. Albeit brief, Suthern Klick (oft- spelled as Southern Klick) enjoyed

commercial success and toured as the opening act for Cash Money Millionaires. Ushering

in a genre of grittier, funk-infused rap, “Like Dat” entered Billboard at #36 in November

of 1998.

In 2000, MCA dropped Suthern Klick but Ole-E continued working with Field Mob as a

producer on their CDs, 613: From Ashy to Classy (2000), From the Roota to tha Toota

(2002), and Light Poles and Pine Trees (2006). Ole-E released If The Streets Could Talk

(2003) on Mosley’s current label, Dirty South Entertainment. Many who purchased the

CD online reached out to tell him how much they loved his down-to-earth style. “I like

to talk about relationships, really dig deep and get into everyday life situations,” says

Ole-E. “I want people to be able to listen to my music as sort of a guideline through a

bad thing, like ‘He’s been through the same things we’re going through now,’ and feel

better.”

Backed by some of the Midwest’s and South’s hottest producers and beat-makers such

as Guy Wes, M-80, D Hittz, Uncle Jamz and The La Beaud Boys, Ole-E’s forthcoming

CD, Up My Wager has a crisp, instantly likeable quality because of its mainstream

potential. “I Bet She’s Freaky (f/Zay),” a song which explores when a man looks at a

conservative woman and wonders about her erotic side, falls somewhere near the Trey

Songz/Gucci Mane category in terms of how well it could be received by urban radio.

“I call [the CD] Up My Wager because it’s like the old casino expression where

you’re sitting at the table and you’re winning the game and you throw it all in,” Ole-

E explains. “That’s sort of like with my life— I’m throwing it all in, giving it my all—

and I feel like I’m winning.” Up My Wager is due October 2010 on Dirty South

Entertainment.
