Soul'd Out (usually stylised as SOUL'd OUT) was a Japanese hip-hop band that consists of three members: Diggy-MO' (Main MC), Bro.Hi (MC/Human Beat Box), and Shinnosuke (Trackmaster). Their name is a pun of "soul (music)" and "sold out". The group is sometimes referred to by their initials, S.O. On 30 January 2014 it was announced via their official Facebook page, that SOUL'd OUT would disband after their final album "To From" is released on 9 April 2014.

Diggy-MO', the lead MC for SOUL'd OUT, acquired a foundation of music through several years of classic piano training. In middle school he formed a band which was heavily influenced by the hip-hop group The Roots. Diggy-MO' attended a university of fine arts to major in graphics, but he continued to dabble in music. In SOUL'd OUT, he, along with Bro.Hi, writes the lyrics for the music, and he composes and arranges a good number of works for the band. He is classified as a rapper, but he often sings in his songs, especially his solo works, which are not as heavily hip-hop and urban based as SOUL'd OUT's works are.
