A day after putting out his new mixtape, Raheem has announced the release of his new LP titled A Place Called Loveland for early 2011. He tells Billboard:
“I feel like every artists has a place in their mind, this place where they exist artistically, And I just want to take people to mine, and my place is called Loveland. In Loveland there’s no war and there’s peace. Of course, there’s beautiful women and lovemaking and all those good things. It’s kind of like my planet in your eardrums.
“When you make timeless music, and I like to think that’s what I’m doing, the fun part is picking the songs. You can clip and flop and mix and match, and when the record is timeless and it feels good, you know it’s going to have the same appeal whether you put it out now or 10 years from now. That’s what I’m about.”
His previous effort The Love & War Masterpeace debuted at No. 9 on the Billboard 200 and No. 3 on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart when it came out in March this year.
