Pacaso Ramirez releases his third project of 2024 and the 21st since 2005. Fundamentally Different features 18 new tracks.

"Releasing three projects in one calendar year is something I've never accomplished. It's a huge feat, basically proving to myself that I can put out quality music, track after track, at a high level" - Pacaso Ramirez

Pacaso Ramirez is an emcee who makes a different brand of hip-hop music. It's not, what many would call, today's CHH; nor is it categorized within the secular genre. His music is personal. Every song has a purpose, a vision, and a statement.

On Fundamentally Different, Ramirez returns to his roots after a career that spans multiple decades.

Fundamentally Different finds Ramirez front and center as artist features are minimal on the project. This starkly contrasts his previous releases in 2024 ('Before Chaos Descends,' 'SoCal Circa82'), which were very feature-heavy.

"I only have three features on this album, that means a lot," explains Ramirez.

With 18 tracks total, Fundamentally Different is a milestone in an already impressive catalog. The album represents Ramirez not only as an artist but as a human and a believer in Jesus Christ.

Throughout the album, Ramirez wrestles with questions of faith while holding on to the truth God has given to those who follow him. This raw approach discards the opinions of the world in favor of sanctification. Ramirez's voice is confident, proving he is an emcee who is not seeking anyone's approval except for the one who created him.
