Actually Mike Marshall released a solo album a couple of years ago - "Love, Lies And Life"  on Million Dollar Dream   




And to answer your question, I don't think those guys, as talented they are, make a lot of money. Plus, don't forget, it's not only about having a good voice, it's also about being a good performer, able to bring something unique. Not everyone has that. I do agree many of those singers did great jobs on hooks etc. , but there's a long way from this to being a good solo aritst.

these are one's I think I've heard of before

[hiphophed420]

There's ads for a Levitti solo on the inserts of a few Sick Wid It albums, but it never came out. It was supposed to be called "So Fly". Don't be fooled if you ever see an album with this title on the net; it's not real. 1 person not inculded in this list who I really wish had a solo is Harm. He raps occasionally too tho, so I guess that might be why he isn't on it. Does anybody know what Harm has been working on lately? I haven't heard much from him the last couple years.
