The group were best known in the mid-1990s for their gold-certified singles 'Candy Rain' and 'Every Little Thing I Do' from their platinum selling debut album Candy Rain.
The original Real Life [For Morons], by MoronSonofBoron was and is a great map. Recently however, there have been several cheap rips off of this map. Please message me if you can provide any assistance. Are you an old soul? Do you believe there is more to life than just material gain? Innately philosophical and prone to teach by example, the old soul provides wise tutelage to younger souls This is a natural state of love, an unfettered expression possible in many souls but rarely explored.

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 BillboardHot 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] A third single, 'If You Want It' reached #53 on the R&B charts.
After touring and the success of their debut album, the group quickly began working on their sophomore album. Soul for Real's second album, For Life, was produced by Sean Combs and released on September 24, 1996. The album peaked at #29 on the Billboard R&B chart and #119 on the Billboard 200. It was led by the single 'Never Felt This Way' which did not gain much airplay. However, the album's second single 'Love You So' did much better, peaking at #64 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs in 1997.[3][4]
Staying under Heavy D's tutelage, the group moved to independent label Chrome Dome Records for their third album, Heat. After a distribution deal with Tommy Boy Music fell through, Warlock Records took over distribution and released the album on May 18, 1999. The album failed to chart[5] and produced one single, 'Can't Wait.'[6]
In 2003, the group formed the label Aljoba Music Group (AMG).
In 2007, Soul For Real began to work on their fourth studio album tentatively entitled The Unknown. The first single 'One Man' (featuring Jadakiss) was released later that year.[7]
In 2009, Brian Dalyrimple was indicted on 145 counts of aggravated identity (mortgage) fraud, none of his brothers were involved.[8] Following Brian's arrest, the other three brothers, KD (Andre), Jason 'Jase' Oliver and Choc (Chris) remained as members of the group and continued on as Soul For Real.
In 2012, they announced that they were in the studio working on their fourth studio album, and have revealed the album title to be The Evolution: Journey.[9] They released a new single titled 'Can't Leave U Alone.'[10] That same year, the youngest member Jase, went by the name of Jase4Real as a solo artist.
In 2016, Soul For Real released a new single 'Love Again'[11] and Jase released a solo single titled 'If You Feelin' Like Me (IYFLM)' with a video available on his YouTube channel. The following year, the group released the official video for 'Love Again' and premiered it on their VEVO channel. In that same year Jase4Real also released his third solo effort If You Feel Like Me: The Mixtape.
