Raw Poetic, Damu The Fudgemunk – Ease Side

I’m not sure why it’s taken this long for me to get stuck in to Raw Poetic and Damu The Fudgemunk’s Away Back In LP, but I have now, and it’s great. 2022’s Laminated Skies is a masterpiece and didn’t get anywhere near the attention it deserved. Away Back In is described as “a transcendent musical fusion of hip-hop, jazz, and garage rock”, and lead single and opening track Ease Side is indicative of its loose, upbeat vibe.

Raw Poetic – Digits (prod. Damu The Fudgemunk)

Raw Poetic and Damu The Fudgemunk collaborated on one of my favourite albums of this year – the massively underrated Laminated Skies – and this is similarly brilliant: robotic funk, hypnotic lyrics and the second single from their forthcoming album Space Beyond the Solar System, which lands this Friday.

Raw Poetic, Damu The Fudgemunk – Cadillac

Washington, D.C.-based hip-hop artist Raw Poetic’s album Laminated Skies landed last week, and I’m hooked. Backed by Damu The Fudegmunk on drums and percussion and host of other musicians all contributing the record, he’s created a body of work that sits somewhere between the classic hip-hop sounds of the 80s and early 90s, and the dreamier, more abstract structures of artists like Dean Blunt. Nowhere are these qualities more perfectly brought together than in the final track Cadillac; a fittingly sublime end to a remarkable album.
