Universal Soul maintain that they “rap like human beings” and they “aren’t one thing or another.” While they make local references in their music, the most prominent theme is nostalgia for youth and times past, as in the case of their best known single Way Back in the Day, in which they rap about their arrival in Halifax as children and being the new kid on the block.
In an interview produced by puppetier and filmmaker, Joey Adrian MacNeil, they appear as puppets rather than “in the flesh” and claim that they don’t live the gangsta or the pop lifestyle, they are happy to make music everyday, be who they are, and represent Halifax hip hop.
