Raw Poetic — Space Beyond the Solar System (22nd Century Sound)

Photo by Earl Davis

Jason Moore AKA Raw Poetic and Earl Davis AKA Damu the Fudgemunk guide us on a kaleidoscopic two-hour trip. The duo embellishes Moore’s acute observational lyrics with hip hop, jazz, funk and classical music, creating cuts that ride loose conversational grooves reminiscent of boom bap’s heyday and the Native Tongue collective. Raw Poetic engages with the lived experience of Black America, drawing connections between street hassles and systemic oppression. He is unafraid to embrace the contradictions and complicity of the artist’s quest for freedom. On Space Beyond the Solar System, Raw Poetic and Damu celebrate the liberating potential of words and music. Endlessly inventive production features telling contributions from saxophonist Archie Shepp, Irreversible Entanglements bassist Luke Stewart and guitarist Pat Fritz.

“A Mile In My Head” encapsulates what makes the album so compelling. Part interior dialogue, part social critique, Moore maps his DC neighborhood accompanied by Shepp’s mindful solo and Stewart’s driving bass lines. After name-checking De La Soul and visiting his local record store, he reflects on the nation’s capital and his place in it, “Same old city/Same old city that was built by slaves/Now I can’t afford anything we made.” Then he stands back, and Shepp’s unadorned saxophone takes over before the beats & bass re-enter. A suite-like structure enhances the cinematic osmosis between the production and lyrics. Moore’s staccato, word-heavy flows are interspersed with spacious instrumental sections.

The album closes with “Antidote Island,” a 23-minute summation that feels like a hip hop version of Black Renaissance’s Body, Mind And Spirit in its exploration of the genius and tragedy of black creative history. Both an examination and an exhortation, it takes in snippets of old spirituals, cosmic jazz and gospel as Moore raps about the power of music, community and the cycle of life. Two repeated lines “Therefore whatever/Get what you wanna do” and “I scream fight the power/Yeah sure” find him caught between hope and frustration. An excerpt of Sinatra singing “But what good are memories?/They just seem to get in the way” suggests ennui is an unaffordable luxury when history is being actively subverted. On Space Beyond The Solar System Moore and Davis have created a powerful mnemonic and a wonderfully engaging musical adventure.

Damu the Fudgemunk - How It Should Sound

Raw Poetic - “A Mile In My Head” (Feat. Archie Shepp)

Space Beyond the Solar System by Raw Poetic

Space Beyond the Solar System by Raw Poetic

Space Beyond The Solar System by Raw Poetic is available now (produced by Damu The Fudgemunk)

Although Space Beyond The Solar System could be considered a concept album by its outcome, its inception started from a string of experiments between Raw Poetic (aka Jason 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. 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 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 “space beyond the solar system.” His comment was a eureka moment for the two artists, giving their wandering efforts a sense of definition that was needed. “I think we’ve been exploring music beyond our limits for a few years,” says Raw Poetic. “It’s hard to tell where we’ll land, but we are constantly pushing our way out of the norm. Hence the title, ‘Space Beyond the Solar System.’ It’s just to say, this is new territory for us. Where the sky was once the limit, now it’s just the start.”

Raw Poetic / Damu the Fudgemunk will headline the Jazz Cafe in London on 4/1/2023.
