Maison De Funk are proud to present the deluxe version of UK underground conscious rap canon, the “Star Women EP” by Poetic Pilgrimage, produced entirely by Blaq Medici. Having a sensational global impact as the first Muslimah rap group, Poetic Pilgrimage blazed a trail from Bristol to London, Europe, South Africa and beyond – Star Women, their 2nd release, features heavyweights from the UK conscious scene – People’s Army founder Logic, legend Genesis Elijah, elite vocalist Sarina Leah and noted Palestinian emcee/singer Shadia Mansour. Highlights include the majestic anthem “Beautiful” a searing ode to women worldwide growing up under hardship, the all-female 5 emcee posse cut “Star Women Anthem”, and inspirational opener “Reaching for the Stars”. The beautiful hand-drawn artwork by Monti Moltisanti captures the essence of Poetic Pilgrimage’s authentic, spiritual, uplifting take on Hip-Hop. And that’s not all! We took it back to the 70’s and made it a twofer (two for the price of one that is!) For the B-side we have companion piece, Blaq Medici’s Champion EP, which has even more searing conscious tracks from Poetic P themselves, as well as MoYah, Logic and Sarina Leah, all of which featured on the Global Faction youtube channel. Standouts are Logic’s Question Everything, the reggae-infused Black Man’s Strain by MoYah and contemplative Gallery Of Dreams featuring Sarina Leah. credits releases December 20, 2024 Vocals: Poetic Pilgrimage & guests where noted Music: Blaq Medici Engineering: Morfius presented by Maison De Funk www.maisondefunk.com instagram.com/maison.de.funk
