AllMusic[3]

Brainchild is the only studio album by American group Society of Soul, composed of the production team Organized Noize, singer Esparonza Brown and poet Big Rube. It was released on LaFace Records in 1995.[4] The album peaked at #93 on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart in the United States.

JazzTimes called the album "shamefully ignored," and described it as an "aural trip through the soul of urban Atlanta."[2]
