Soul Temple Records is an American record label founded in 2012 by hip hop music recording artist RZA and Bob Perry, after the release of the RZA directed The Man with the Iron Fists. The labels first release would be that album's soundtrack. The label has since released studio albums by Wu-Tang Clan members Ghostface Killah and U-God. All albums released on the label are executive produced by RZA.
On August 28, 2012 leading up to the release of RZA's directorial debut The Man with the Iron Fist, he announced the founding of a new record label named Soul Temple Records. He explained the goal of the label being; the label "will release records from independent minded artists from a variety of genres, from the creative community." The labels first release would be revealed to be The Man With the Iron Fists OST. The album featured appearances from Kanye West, Wu-Tang Clan, Pusha T, Ghostface Killah, M.O.P., Freddie Gibbs, Wiz Khalifa, Kool G. Rap, Flatbush Zombies, Corrine Bailey Rae, Method Man, Raekwon, Talib Kweli, and The Black Keys among others. RZA said Soul Temple had been an idea he had for years, and it was inspired by his relationship with Isaac Hayes. By September 2012, Ghostface Killah announced he would be releasing an album through Soul Temple Records titled, Twelve Reasons to Die on November 20, however it would be pushed back to April 2013 to not compete with The Man with the Iron Fists soundtrack.
