‘The Soul Man’ Season 2 Episode 8 ‘Boyce in the Hood’

On the next “The Soul Man” Season 2 Episode 8 “Boyce in the Hood,” Boyce’s good intentions yield mixed results when he hires three former gang members as assistants. Stamps asks Boyce for help with his new business venture. Lolli is annoyed when Boyce refers to her career as a hobby. The episode will feature Darius McCrary as guest star.

“The Soul Man” stars Cedric the Entertainer and Niecy Nash and revolves around R&B superstar-turned-minister Reverend Boyce ‘The Voice’ Ballentine, played by Cedric. Though he’s used to living in Las Vegas at the top of the music charts, he gets ‘the calling’ and decides to relocate to St. Louis with his wife, Lolli (Nash) and his daughter, Lyric (Jazz Raycole), to take over the preaching duties in his father’s church. However, his family is not exactly eager to give up the fabulous superstar life for their new humble one. The comedy also stars John Beasley of “Everwood” as Boyce’s father, Barton, and Wesley Jonathan of “What I Like About You” as his brother, Stamps.

Independent journalism doesn't fund itself.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
