LIL SOUL was known for tags and bubble-letter styled pieces. His tag as did many others of the era became a classic and influenced subsequent generations of writers. Though LIL SOUL was popular and well connected in the writing community, he never officially joined any crews. He was, however associated with the Brooklyn branch of the 3-Yard Boys crew and was also a prominent figure at the old Parsons Boulevard Writer's Bench in Queens.
