Project Paradise originally came together in 2016 releasing an extensive catalog of unreleased music since that time, however, the eclectic collective of artists has banned together and is successfully following through on what they describe as a "transcendental mission" with their first official release "Whole World" which dropped December 30, 2021.
"Whole World" is a rap lyrical gem that takes you on an extremely pictorial journey into a mental struggle for the ages. The song touches on a true story in which the lead rapper encounters a woman on a bridge contemplating suicide. He is able to talk her out of acting on her intent to end her life and they go on to forge a relationship.
The immensely descriptive lyricism details the inner demons and personality disorder that the woman begins to display that may have led to her initial suicidal thoughts and the struggle that the lyricist encounters with how to deal with them and the threat to his own mental well-being.
She'll terrorize anybody in her way
Just to mask the pain that she was hiding
And look at how deep I'm in
Don't wanna leave her but I think it's her or me
And man
These mind games that she playing got me questioning my sanity
Feels like I'm dating Casey Anthony
Everything I say is wrong and she can never answer me
Without flipping the book to make it look
Like I'm the prick for even asking
Source : "Whole World" by Project ParadiseIt's a classic example of fight vs. flight response......It's fascinating as he details his internal struggles and a realization that it is probably in his best interests to leave the situation, however, there still exists a certain responsibility to be there for her.
What's done in dark will always come out to shine
Finally see the darkness she been trying to hide
Tearing me apart but if I leave what am I?
The deterrent to her suicide?
She done told me shit like you the reason that I'm still alive
And with medusas eyes
And fingers made of knives
She'll kill me if I stay
But if I leave she dies

The mental imagery it conjures up is very powerful as you can literally picture each scenario as he flows across the brooding instrumentation that has a melodious acoustic soundscape driven by live drums and a rhythmic guitar riff. The psychedelic, out-of-this world aura is created with an infusion of abstract, ambient elements.

Project Paradise Bio
Breathing new life into their earthy projections after ego death and dark nights of the soul, bleeding their deepest secrets and darkest fantasies into sonic expression, Project Paradise is more than a collective, its a body, a body with a heartbeat of drums, a blood-flow of poetry, eyes like piano keys, and rhythm for limbs, the body dances to a genre-less crescendo of psychedelic medicine for the spiritual rising. To them this is bigger than music, this is the meaning of life, the pursuit of paradise, and they are architects of the new age.
Originally meeting in August 2016, and dedicating to the mission, they set out to create a body of work named ‘Project Paradise’, but after years of creating an archive of music without release, they decided on adopting the project name as their official group name and following through with what they label a “Transcendental Mission”.
At it’s core, the music of Project Paradise resides in realms far beyond our own shared reality, with members attesting to being ‘given’ the music as opposed to the more common ‘creating’, citing inspiration from dreams, meditation, spirits, psychedelics and past lives. Moments spent around this eclectic group often give rise to feelings of Deja Vu and visions of light, the auras feel familiar, the music sounds familiar, and the ideologies are like words we’ve always known but forgot how to read. This is what operating from the ether sounds like and possibly what dying feels like.
Project Paradise encourage you to come and die with them (metaphorically of course), that we may all be born again, closer to the truth of who we are, and why we’re here, and whilst no-one in this group claims to have the answer, everyone seems convinced that through these gates of music, poetry and dance, flooded with tears of anguish, anger, joy and laughter, we can all find some answers for ourselves as well as welcome and protect each other, whilst we party towards a common ground with greener grass and clearer skies.
