1XTRA NEWS: THE REAL TALK OF THE STREETS
So Solid
So Solid
speaker
Cristal flowing, Audi TT's rolling, big budget videos, No1 track....that was So Solid at the top of their game.
So Solid went platinum when they took Garage off the streets and into the charts.

But things went downhill when a man was shot at one of their gigs and then brushes with the law for serious offences like guns and murder followed.

Lisa Mafia pours her heart out while Harvey gets real, "On a daily basis we had to deal with this hate...from your own people." Was it the haters who destroyed So Solid?
Were So Solid victims of hype? Would you like to see them make a comeback? So you consider So Solid as pioneers? What's your favourite So Solid track? What are your best memories of the crew?

They wrote,produced,sang rapped,they were totally ahead of their game young and gifted and commited to putting out out good music there has never been anyone like them before or after their fans embraced and enjoyed.In life we all make mistakes we have to learn and move on.The goverment made it personal which was plain to see.I truly stand by them So Solid for life!!!!!!!

Yes they definately deserve a comeback. All the young ones now owe their char success to SoSolid. They broke down the barriers that helped young blcak garage hiphop stars breakthrough and get into the mainstream music industry. Give the group a break. if Jedward ca get through and they have no talent surely the pioneers of british garage and hiphop should be given that 2nd chance.

I'm up for So Solid making a comeback. I loved the group and never really understood why they split. I never listened to the gossip surrounding them and didn't even hear much of the gossip about them anyway.They made good music and it's a shame they split. They are one of the GREAT bands that got away.Love Asher D and would love to see him with the group. Seeing Harvey's face would irritate me though but I'll just overlook him.

So Solid were the first to make it in music industry they started the game and deserve to make a come back. Everyone needs to stop listening to the gossip and the government and start hearing the music.
