The Soul is Reason’s first single as a “signed artist”. Released on 8 August 2018), the same day that TDE announced his signing, the song is meant to introduce Reason to his fans and announce his mixtape There you have it as he utters these words as an ad-lib at the end of the song.

An introspective, “soul-searching” record where Reason brings to light various aspects of his life such as his frustrations with an “eight to five” job before being signed, his drive for his dreams, his appreciation of the chance to pursue his dreams, and how grateful he is for being signed.

He concludes the song by detailing the reason for his hard work, which is providing a better life for his family.
