Brand new EP from New Jersey/Pennsylvania based MC P-Rawb. Getting his start in as 1/2 of The Jerzadelphians with Shane Great, the duo would put out Era of the Getback on Black Friday 2019 & P eventually linked up with London, England, United Kingdom producer Big O to have him handle all the beats on his solo debut The Complexity at the beginning of 2021. Obviously it’s been quite some time since we’ve last heard from the Jerzadelphian & hearing that he was getting back with Big O for Time & Space was destined to be something noteworthy.
After the “Follow My Lead” intro, the first song “Rise to the Top” takes it right to the basement boasting that he’s been swinging his sword over some prominent horns during the hook whereas “Hard Pressed” works in some synthesizers talking about live being a test filled with pain & stress. “Power Within (Searchin’)” featuring Fashawn finds the pair teaming up so they can discuss looking for a new dawn & “For the Gods” featuring L.O.U. & Rxlph ends with the trio talking about seeing y’all at the finishing line.
In honor of The Complexity celebrating its 4-year anniversary at the start of 2025, Time & Space reflects the journey P-Rawb & Big O have taken in both mentally & musically since the last time we’ve heard them together on wax by taking on a fresh sound & new perspective. You can really hear the growth between each of them whether it be Big O’s production skills evolving or the deeply personal topics P covers in the 18 minute duration.
Score: 8/10
