Beaming in from the outer realm of hip-hop, emcee Spaceman wants listeners to “Peep The Method.” The new single produced by Escada and featuring a guest verse from Jus-P is powered by ambient synths and thick 808s, meshing contemporary production from emcees sharpened by an upbringing in boom-bap. Speaking on his relationship with Queens native Jus-P, Spaceman revealed, “I’ve known him for a while and over the years we’ve bonded as serious hip-hop practitioners with a mutual dedication to the fundamental redemptive nature of this culture and art-form.”
This is the fourth single in what Spaceman is calling his Social Skills series. After releasing three entirely solo projects, he devised this series as a step out of his comfort zone and to collaborate with other rappers that he respects. The three other singles (also released this year) included “Mumblecore” featuring his former Inner City Kids Collective cohorts ABGOHARD and Producer K3Mal, “Think Twice” featuring Fatboi Sharif, produced by The Suspect (Allegedly), and “Geometry” featuring Kyle Rapps, also produced by The Suspect (Allegedly).
