about

November 24th marks the release of Self Jupiter's latest single, "The Lemongrass Song," launching digitally with The Order Label as a maxi-single (main, instrumental, and acappella). With a recent feature on the critically acclaimed sophomore album from Milo and collaborative LPs with Kenny Segal under the Kleenrz moniker, Self Jupiter continues to push the culture of hip hop forward. "The Lemongrass Song" pulls from his vast body of work with Freestyle Fellowship and beyond, creating power through sound that's infectious, intelligent, and eclectic. Self Jupiter recorded his vocals for “The Lemongrass Song” at the Cosmic Zoo, using a vintage U47 mic.

One of the most unique elements of the "The Lemongrass Song" is the vibrant display of African rhythms and melodies. This base allows Jupiter to spin a web of advanced lyricism and jubilant cadences. His verbal phrasing shimmers off the music with a sense of enlightenment the world needs right now. As a longtime collaborator to Self Jupiter, Peter "Hellacello" Jacobsen was behind the production and instrumentation elements, blending together different continents and eras. Brazilian actress and singer Thalma de Freitas was also recruited, adding her presence to the chorus and background sections. The intentions and desired effects of "The Lemongrass Song" are one of happiness, unity, and drive. "I want to make songs that move you." Self Jupiter adds. "I think this songs puts people of all ages and ethnicities in a good place. That motivates me to make more and more."

With lyrical acrobatics and a message of peace through song, Self Jupiter takes "The Lemongrass Song" back to the days of the Freestyle Fellowship and the music that put experimental hip hop on the map. The voice of oneness shines through and as Self Jupiter reflects, "It's a feel good dance song and rejoices in the fact that we're all God's children. Remembering that we’re all spirits built for only one purpose. To unify. There's strength in that idea."

As one of the founding members of legendary Los Angeles hip hop group Freestyle Fellowship, Self Jupiter has had a hand in one of the most important movements of hip hop history. "The Lemongrass Song" carries this torch into the future.

lyrics

I came here to love and be loved by many adored and revered respected that's winning
I came here to teach and learn from the living
I'm here by the grace of god
One of his chillins
groomed to make grooves like this in one sitting
ask if you could get up and dance if you're willing
music can uplift I'm happy to assist the fact that I exist like unwrapping a gift
And the feeling that ya get
Is the reason why I'm here
There's plenty to be thankful for


I'm here cause all was right in the universe the birth of a starburst nebula was helluva
A glorious occasion no scratches or abrasions
the smoothest delivery
In the history of auxiliary
The purpose of the exercise is give you a little something cherish for the rest of your lives
the lingering message
Moving so effortless
the theory everything
Used as a reference
Almost as a guide
my spiritual side
I'm believing that I can just leap into the sky
These joints have springs
Excuse me if I dream
The words that I speak implore you to believe
There's plenty to be thankful for

Arts and crafts from the pastry store
handmade baskets hats shoes n bracelet masks and makeshift staffs out of snakeskin
Rafts that was made from lemon grass arrangements

I been here before I been before I been here before

The moon so bright on the ocean floor it must be high tide open up your eyes wide
Water crashing god must be laughing
roots ointments instruments incense
standing in amazement
This is my entertainment
It's beautiful aint it
Captivating frame it
Excellent climate planets in alignment synchronization call it a revelation
