Ras G

Ras G guides a deep space exploration of music’s ancient history and rich future. Working thru obsolete tools to reach back in time and pluck out the essence of groove, Ras G's music is rich with space-funktified rhythms, fog horns, natty chattin, subterranean bass lines, colossal percussion and glorious highs.

Ras G has been a fixture on the underground hiphop scene in Los Angeles since the early 90s. He is a proud South Central LA resident. Ras along with Black Monk and Ron Stivers are the founders of the Poo-Bah Label.

This is the music that people will be playing in the ghettos of Mars in the year 3014.

Hieroglyphic of a person doing yoga in Ancient Kemet.

        Yoga was practiced in Ancient Egypt, North East Africa, for a very long time. Research has indicated that the philosophy of personality integration, or yoga, was practiced in Egypt for about 10,000 years which is a great expanse of time.

The teaching of yoga that was espoused in the country of Egypt was derived from the meditations and insights by the early sage priests and priestesses. Egypt is not the original term for the country. Egypt is a modern term; the original inhabitants of the country called it Kemet, meaning black or the black land, because of the yearly inundation of the Nile River which caused the rich silt to overflow its banks. …

Yoga is the practice of binding individual consciousness with universal consciousness. This individual reality that you are experiencing is actually only a small reflection of your true nature and yoga is the practice of how to achieve the knowledge of one’s abiding and immortal aspect.

In the Kemetic teachings this process of yoga is called Smai Tawi which means UNION OF THE TWO LANDS, not to be confused with physical land masses, but is an explanation of the higher and lower nature within the human entity.

Poo-Bah News

From the limited edition CD, Poo-Bah Records Presents "Follow The Reindeer" featuring many Los Angeles artists such as Rick Potts, Blackmonk, Jah Grinch, Mitchell Brown, Matthewdavid, The Tenses, Take, and Tom Recchion in a delirious nine track christmas special.

DOWNLOAD: POOBAH RECORDS PRESENTS "FOLLOW THE REINDEER" (50MB, ZIP)

Ras G is featured on the cover of L.A. Record for Fall + Winter, issue 105; with an interview inside by Chris Ziegler and photography by Theo Jemison.

Ras_G isn't from this world — he's just passing through, making music that connects to the cosmic righteousness of Lee "Scratch" Perry, Sun Ra and Dilla. His newest album — the double 10" Spacebase is the Place, name after the part of the world where you'll most ofter find him — contains the crushing bass-is-actually-the-place songs any Ras_G fan has been seeking on vinyl for years, and July's Down 2 Earth is a beat tape built on the rhythm of a city bus, with gentle starts and stops that break up the (dirty / beautiful / same thing anyway) scenery. L.A. RECORD welcomes this true citizen of the universe as he settles in for another day at his Spacebase.

Pick up a copy of L.A. RECORD at the Poobah Record Shop for the full interview.
