The Global Citizen Festival 2025 is scheduled for September 27th in Central Park's Great Lawn in New York City. It will be the 13th year of the annual music festival that aims to address global poverty and other pressing issues. The festival is free to attend, but requires participation in Global Citizen's global advocacy initiative.

"Our spirit paves the way to freedom.” R.A.W. 2022

Straight from the R.A.W. Productions Archival Series comes the the 13th original music single, featuring Neo-Spiritual Method Artist-Raz Wickham.

With no further delay, the time has come and the Silver Eagle has finally landed, two years from the day of Raz finishing Riding Academy with Harley Davidson. Born To Ride is now available to the public in digital form but for a limited time.
Not including the time spent on it late 2022 during its inception, and only partially last year due to Raz being a caretaker for nearly 6 months, this song has taken the past 7 straight months to produce.

With Raz doing everything you hear on this track; from writing, recording all vocals and instrumentation, and all post-production work with mixing and mastering, it's been quite the undertaking with all the roles he had to fill just to complete one song of this caliber. Riding may be coming to a close this season in certain areas of the world, but the spirit of the road lives on.

"Our spirit paves the way to freedom.” R.A.W. 2022

Straight from the R.A.W. Productions Archival Series comes the official cover for the 13th original music single, featuring Neo-Spiritual Method Artist-Raz Wickham.

Born To Ride: Legend Of The Silver Eagle is a new multimedia project in documentary form that will visually showcase Wickham's 2003 HD 100th Anniversary Sportster 1200 XL Custom bike, officially named the Silver Eagle, along with other fellow riders from various backgrounds.

Born To Ride also features a new song, Wickham's most ambitious yet, that musically conveys the legendary spirit and heritage of motorcycle riding in the most epic way possible.
May freedom be the journey. With Harley-Davidson being the main inspiration, this heavy yet groovy piece will act as a musical anthem for all that is famously known within motorcycle culture, relating to anyone on two wheels.

Due to severe illness in the month of June the song was pushed back by two weeks. Fortunately all vocals for this lengthy track were successfully recorded in the studio as of today 7/1/24, and will commence with mixing before the mastering work is complete. Therefore the new single is still in production for an updated 7/20/24 release date through various digital retail outlets. Physical copies such as CD, cassette, and vinyl will follow soon after this summer.
