Cagle continued to build his catalog of original material and honing his composing and arranging skills while Nash went on to study studio recording and production under non other than Mark Williams, Engineer on projects of R.E.M, Don Dixon, James Brown fame while pursuing his day gig as Marketing Manager for a B2B manufacturer in the Charlotte area. Cagle and Nash still kept in touch on a close friendship level but were not afforded the opportunity to write and record together again until . . .
Fast-forward to Late December 2007 when musical fate has brought Cagle & Nash together again for the best effort yet. Nine months of working on arrangements of 11 songs that are almost each and everyone a “single” release in their own right, has wrought a project of 11 songs about love and love lost and love found entitled “Soul Complete”:
This album is about as soulful as they come and will show you influences as varied as Donald Fagen (and Steely Dan), Michael McDonald, Marvin Gaye, John Legend, Michael Buble. And with guest appearances by Robyn Springer and Di Yonna Mitchell you are going to hear some Mysa, Dion Warwick and Roberta Flack influences. Bottom line is this could be one of the most talked about new releases in the Soul genre a long time. It is classic soul without being dated. Fresh and exciting yet soulful and singable. And most definitely danceable.

(You nigga the fucker man forever shit
We take over the world, yeah lil bro, yeah, nah for real)
Nah for real
They start flexin' right now, let's get it, yeah
Hold up, hold up
Don't mind me I'm just stuntin' right now
Thumb through that check, man I love that money sound
Thumb through that check, man I love that money sound
I came through to stunt on purpose
I buy all my girls purses
Night and day for the money I'm lurkin'
I want that new Maybach, I close the curtains
Watch me go and get it
I'm the hottest in the city
Wanna be just like Diddy
I walk around town with 50 on me
Don't mind me I'm just stuntin' right now
'Cause life got me high, I ain't never comin' down
Thumb through that check, man I love that money sound
Thumb through that check, man I love that money sound
Run up with a check like Nike on me
Roy diamonds real deal, icy on me
Rich Forever chain that's water 3D
Bandana on forehead, we get it out the street
Niggas hate cause I'm winnin'
Bought a Mase', chopped the ceilin'
Fuck your bitch, sloppy, sloppy
I was choppin' that 20 Bugatti
Mama said put down that lean
Drinkin' I pour up this pink
Cookie dough, smokin' that stank
I'm shittin' on rappers, you stink
Don't mind me I'm just stuntin' right now
'Cause life got me high, I ain't never comin' down
Thumb through that check, man I love that money sound
Thumb through that check, man I love that money sound
Money machine, oh oh oh oh
I'm countin' green, oh oh oh oh
Don't mind, I'm just countin' right now
Got 'bout a 100,000 all twenties right now
These niggas mad, look at my haters, they said
They say a young nigga too fly 'cause I be poppin' them tags
I told 'em
Don't mind me I'm just stuntin' right now
'Cause life got me high, I ain't never comin' down
Thumb through that check, man I love that money sound
Thumb through that check, man I love that money sound
