Mr J Medeiros - Pale Blue Dot

Review by Serrurier 95

Pale Blue Dot by Mr J Medeiros: A Conscious Hip-Hop Gem That Still Shines Let’s cut to the chase—Mr. J Medeiros’ Pale Blue Dot isn’t your run-of-the-mill rap album. Released in 2012, this project blends thoughtful lyricism with beats that feel like they were cooked up in some secret underground lab where jazz met hip-hop for coffee and a deep chat. With its roots planted firmly in both the US and Europe (thanks to labels De Medeiros and The Find Magazine), it’s got that global vibe without losing its soul. The artwork? Dope. Nathan Travis clearly had his morning coffee when he whipped up the cover because it's sharp as hell. And let’s not forget Giannina Ashe, who pops up on one of the remixes, adding her smooth vocal magic to an already stellar tracklist. Now, onto the goods—the songs themselves. You’ve got tracks like “These Hands” and “Pale Blue Dot,” which stick in your brain like gum under a desk. Let me tell you why these two stand out. “These Hands” is basically the musical equivalent of someone sitting you down and saying, “Yo, life’s messy but beautiful.” It’s raw, reflective, and kinda makes you want to hug yourself—or at least call your mom. When the Nigel Bird Trio hops on board, it adds this jazzy undertone that feels like walking through New York City late at night: moody yet full of possibility. Then there’s the Animal House Remix version, which flips the script entirely, turning introspection into something you can nod your head to while pretending you’re cool at a house party. And oh boy, “Pale Blue Dot.” This one hits different every time I hear it. Whether it’s the original or the remix featuring Shad, it’s packed with lines so conscious they might make you rethink your entire existence. Like, what if we really are just tiny specks floating around in space? Heavy stuff, right? But somehow, Medeiros delivers it all without sounding preachy. Instead, it’s more like chatting with a friend who happens to be way smarter than you. Bonus points for Giannina Ashe’s feature—her voice glides over the beat like butter on warm toast. Honestly, this album feels less like a collection of songs and more like a conversation starter. It doesn’t scream for attention; it whispers, “Hey, come closer. There’s something here worth thinking about.” So yeah, Pale Blue Dot is one of those albums that sneaks up on you. One minute you’re casually listening, and the next, you’re Googling Carl Sagan quotes and wondering if aliens dig hip-hop too. If anything, it proves that great music doesn’t need flashy gimmicks—it just needs heart, brains, and maybe a little help from Nathan Travis on the art side. Final thought: If Elon Musk ever sends a playlist to Mars, this album better be on it. Aliens deserve good taste, too.

Interesting fact about Album

Here’s something cool: Mr. J Medeiros' album *Pale Blue Dot* isn’t just another hip-hop record. It blends conscious rap with thoughtful lyrics, but here’s the kicker—it features multiple versions of the same track, each with its own vibe. For example, "Pale Blue Dot" has a version with Shad and another remixed by 20Syl, giving listeners different ways to connect with the music. And fun fact, Giannina Ashe, who’s featured on one of those tracks, adds her unique touch to the mix. The artwork? That was done by Nathan Travis, tying it all together visually. It's like a creative playground for fans of the genre.

SICK! Love this guy so much. No homo.
But seriously his, 'keep pace' video was a big inspiration among other things in my life; on my new music video on my channel! MEDEIROS IS A LEGend.
