I actually bought this album last year from amazon, after I saw it on some body's list of slept-on Hip-Hop albums. I haven't been able to find a lot of info on this group, but what I can tell you is that Juice With Soul is a duo consisting of a rapper and a DJ from Boston, and that this it there only album, which was released in 1993. The album's liner notes aren't very helpful either in terms of more detailed information, all it says is that the album was written and produced by Juice With Soul, so I'm just going to assume that the rapper is named Juice and the DJ is named Soul. Anyway there's a very strong social consciousness throughout the album, as Juice touches on everything from street violence to police brutality. Perhaps the strongest track on "Body Armor" is "Like Father, Like Son," where Juice thoroughly discusses his worries over being a good father and raising his son responsibly. All in all this is a very strong effort from 1993, and it's definitely worth checking out if you're unfamiliar with Juice With Soul.
