WHAT: This is one cut off the critically-acclaimed indie release from Raw Data Entertainment. It is nothing short of dark brilliance (contradiction intended). Every song is a unique, authentic brain ride. This is Alternative Hip Hop at its best. If you feed on intense, intellectual lyrics and evolving, intricate-sharp instrumentals, you simply cannot pass up this album!
WHO: Raw Data is Goldie, Charizma, Seth and Azael. Goldie makes you move to his infectious flow and choice word patterns while embedding pure reality and guiding light into his verses, Azael is the mastermind composer, manning the keyboard and steering musicians, along with delivering savage metaphors and stories that'll have you riveted. Seth smears naked heart into rhyme and song, taking you on personal internal journeys of soulful intensity and battle-ready knockout combos. Charizma does cerebral back flips as he soaks conceptual vocabulary down upon you, awakening dormant portions of the mind.
HISTORY: Raw Data was originally formed by Goldie and Charizma along with Seth Walter at Eglin Air Force Base (Fort Walton Beach) in 1999. Amidst local venue performances, they were in the process of releasing their first demo when Charizma took military orders to Germany. After completing a 4-year tour overseas and solo efforts by all, they re-assembled Raw Data stronger than ever, enlisting the apex talents of close friend Azael, who was generating an underground buzz with his production and solo work. Raw Data became an LLC and exponentially improved every aspect of their craft. With the viral marketing efforts of Leo, Raw Data has opened for the Ying-Yang twins to a sold-out crowd in Destin, FL, accomplished a spring break tour across the panhandle of Florida, and rocked hard for adrenaline-fueled crowds in Connecticut, Germany and California. Azael, Charizma Davinci and Seth Walter are Connecticut representatives; Goldie is a Milwaukee "Brew-town" ambassador. Raw Data is the Mixed Martial Arts of the rap world, employing a "no holds barred" approach to style and direction that, if one must label, can only be hailed as Alternative Hip Hop at its very best.
