Soft White
album by Mack 10
Soft White is the eighth solo studio album by American rapper Mack 10. It was released on September 29, 2009, through Hoo-Bangin' Records with distribution via Fontana. The album was produced by Don Vito, Ervin "EP" Pope, DJ Green Lantern, Dow Jones, Fingazz, Fredwreck, Honorable C.N.O.T.E., Mike City, SouthBoy, and Young Tre, with Roland Pole and Mack 10 serving as executive producers. It features guest appearances from Glasses Malone, Akon, Anthony Hamilton, Birdman, Jazze Pha, J. Holiday, Lil Wayne, Red Café, and Rick Ross. The album debuted at number 141 on the Billboard 200, selling 3,900 copies.
The first single, "Big Balla" featuring Birdman and Glasses Malone was released September 23, 2008, but due to its lackluster reviews and chart performance it was used as a promotional single instead. "So Sharp" featuring Jim Jones and Lil Wayne was set to be a single and was released through iTunes on April 14, 2009, but Jim Jones' label did not clear his name to be used on the album. In an effort to keep the song as his first single, Mack 10 changed the lineup, adding Rick Ross and Jazze Pha. The lead single "So Sharp" featuring Lil' Wayne, Rick Ross and Jazze Pha became available for digital download on July 7, 2009.

Why this record matters
“Soft White” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Soft, White and album provides the most credible route into that argument.
Attribution, date and provenance are strongest when supported by the original work, a catalogue record and documented transmission. The source revision retrieved here is dated Dec 21, 2025. The linked authority identifier is Q4353695. None of the 1 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2009 and 2008.
Later fame can flatten the distinction between original context, subsequent adaptation and institutional collecting history. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
