"Soul Food" is a song by American hip hop group Goodie Mob and the title track from their debut studio album of the same name (1995). It was released as the album's second single on February 26, 1996. The song features American singer-songwriter Sleepy Brown and was produced by Organized Noize.
In the song, each member of Goodie Mob describes their favorite foods[1] and love for the titular cuisine style,[2] [3] and point out how fast food is often bad for one's health.[4]
Tom Doggett of RapReviews called the song "stunning", commenting it "puts you right next to them at the table" and that "The understated beat emphasizes the vocals, and when they sing the chorus together, it is truly beautiful."
