about

MC/Lyricist Raw Poetic (aka Jason Moore) announces Space Beyond The Solar System, his new album out December 9th on 22nd Century Sound, and presents its lead single, â€œA Mile In My Head,â€ featuring legendary saxophonist Archie Shepp. Although Space Beyond The Solar System could be considered a concept album by its outcome, its inception started from a string of experiments between Moore and frequent collaborator/producer Damu the Fudgemunk. These initial sessions had no specific direction but became the catalyst for what would become a prolific wave of Raw Poetic projects; five of which have been released since 2020.

It was these initial sessions and the demos they produced that convinced Sheppâ€”who is also Raw Poeticâ€™s uncleâ€”to record what would eventually become 2020â€™s Ocean Bridges, a collaborative album from Raw, Damu, and Shepp, praised by The FADER as â€œmodern masterpiece at the intersection of rap and jazz.â€ The trioâ€™s collaboration continues on Space Beyond The Solar System, which boasts three tracks featuring the jazz legend, including todayâ€™s â€œA Mile In My Head,â€ a sprawling and thought-provoking album stand-out.

â€œI always liked â€˜A Mile in My Head'â€™ because it really does break down a day in the life of our metropolitan area,â€ says Moore, who grew up in and around the Washington, DC area. â€œThe sound provides such a backdrop that you can actually visualize the story. Weâ€™re in full hip-hop mode here.â€

At two hours, absorbing Space Beyond in its entirety may be overwhelming for most, especially in the present day, but Raw and Damu are very aware of this. With a total of over 40-plus years of experience between the vocalist and producer, the two of them went down memory lane taking every influence and experience in their personal histories to extract ingredients for a groundbreaking statement. Space Beyond The Solar System is their most comprehensive environment to date.

The creation of Space Beyond sparked a conversation between Raw and Damu about their creative chemistry, with Raw likening their direction to a â€œspace beyond the solar system.â€ His comment was a eureka moment for the two artists, giving their wandering efforts a sense of definition that was needed. â€œI think weâ€™ve been exploring music beyond our limits for a few years,â€ says Raw Poetic. â€œItâ€™s hard to tell where weâ€™ll land, but we are constantly pushing our way out of the norm. Hence the title, â€˜Space Beyond the Solar System.â€™ Itâ€™s just to say, this is new territory for us. Where the sky was once the limit, now itâ€™s just the start.â€

It is rare that I find an album where I donâ€™t skip at least one track. This album kept me wanting more and is one that I canâ€™t wait to listen to again and again at full length. The music and production pulls the listener into the past with layers of soul samples, live instrumentation, and vocals while Black Thought spits original rhymes with depth in his typical no nonsense, no gimmicks fashion. The greatest to bless the mic, in my opinion, Tariq is incapable of a weak bar. ðŸŽ§ðŸŒ³ðŸŒ³ðŸ”¥ðŸ”¥ðŸš¬ðŸ’¨ðŸ’¨ ihearttokissthecooter0
