"The Souls of Black Folk" is a captivating single from Timothy Welbeck’s forthcoming album “No City for Young Men.” The song, which features exquisite production from Antonio “Tone Jonez” Jones and a stand out guest appearance from Dozzy Daniel, is inspired by W.E.B. Du Bois' seminal work of the same name. The song alludes to Du Bois' "The Souls of Black Folk", James Weldon Johnson and John Rosamond Johnson’s "Lift Ev'ry Voice," while still ringing true of hip-hop.

The video, directed by Clark Kennedy, chronicles the vibrance of a small church whose building is bombed by people incensed by the pastor's community activism. In so doing, the video captures the harrowing reality African Americans have endured throughout their collective history, particularly as it relates to the terror imposed by reoccurring attacks on traditional black churches. Regrettably, the video has become all the more relevant in light of news of six church bombings across the nation within the past year.
