It might be Rocket Science . . . it sure sounds like it.
Tone: Cinematic. Celestial Hip-Hop. Written in the stars.
Somewhere between being on the ground with gravity and somewhere way, way, wayyyyy above it, at the same time—lives Something PoEtic, a cinematic, celestial hip-hop record that doesn’t just introduce you to [JustisThePoet] . . . it launches you.

An *8-track sonic odyssey that plays like the literal and metaphorical tape in Justis’ Sony Walkman as he drifts upward—leaving the atmosphere of inhibition behind and entering orbit with a new voice, a new mission, and a new experiment. By the final track, “Dear, Gravity,” you’re not just listening to an album—you’re floating inside the soundscape of a movement.
A foundational pillar of The Rocket Science Experiment, Something PoEtic serves as both score and scripture. It’s the music powering the TV series, the book (Poetic Something), the curriculum, and the philosophy behind Justis’ multimedia revolution. “Grapevine (Fame & Infamy)” marks the gravitational pivot where terms like pull, mass, and escape velocity transform into lived metaphor. By the time the final chords ring out, you’ve ascended through hip-hop, cosmic jazz bars, time capsules from earth, and celestial textures that feel like standing inside the aurora borealis’ waves.
The bass here holds the emotional center like gravity itself, while stereo-panned synths, jazzy samples, and ethereal silence guide the listener through cosmic speeds and gentle drift alike. If Pens + Postcards was the art of sending sonic letters to the world, Something PoEtic is the cassette-tape you leave playing in your ship as you wave goodbye.
It’s not a prophecy, but its something ancestral. Something remembered.
It’s not “the start” of the Rocket Science era.
It is the launch.
CALL ME JUSTIS.
