Career
Formed in 1992, Soul for Real signed with Uptown Records and released their debut album Candy Rain on March 28, 1995.[1][2] Produced by Heavy D, Candy Rain's first single was the album's title track. The song hit #1 on the Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs, and peaked at #2 on the Hot 100 chart. Their second single, "Every Little Thing I Do", reached #11 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs and #17 on the Hot 100 chart.[3]
Soul for Real's second album, For Life, was produced by Sean Combs and released on September 24, 1996. The album peaked at #119 on the Billboard 200, and the single album's single "Love You So" peaked at #64 Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs in 1997.[3][4]
The group moved to the independent label Warlock for their third album, Heat, released on May 18, 1999. The album failed to chart.[5] In 2007, Soul for Real formed their own label, Aljoba Music Group (AMG), and began work on their fourth studio album entitled The Unknown. The album included the single "One Man" featuring Jadakiss.[6]
Legal troubles
On February 25, 2009, group member Brian Dalyrimple was arrested in Charlotte, North Carolina on charges of identity theft. Prior to his arrest, Dalyrimple allegedly took his 10-month-old son from his grandmother's home and fled to a friend's home in Charlotte. Police were given a tip which led to his arrest. Dalyrimple, along with his son's mother, are accused of orchestrating financial thefts from over 200 victims in the Duluth, Georgia area and other jurisdictions.[7]
