Musiq Soulchild: Hip-Hop Artist in New York

About Musiq Soulchild

Musiq Soulchild, the recording name of singer-songwriter Taalib Hassan Johnson, works in the neo-soul lane where R&B meets hip-hop cadences and church-rooted harmony. His songs draw on funk, blues, jazz, and gospel, often built around plainspoken, conversational narratives. In the New York area he appears at NJPAC, including a shared bill with Kindred The Family Soul that pairs two complementary strains of modern soul. His performances tend to favor vocal precision and phrasing over spectacle.
