The First Realm
After being quite active during the 2020 election and ongoing pandemic campaigning at 16 primaries with 23 societal issue forums, having a podcast show with a presence at the conventions, debates, and conducting various hot-button political polls, and finally hosting a uniquely entertaining election day show, we have decided to do something fun for our fans and fellow moderates.
Throughout 2021, our movement shifted gears and started focusing on producing a jazzy, chill hip-hop album to help communicate our movement to the world in a stylized fashion. Our single, “Socrates Café,” dropped on July 23rd of that year, with the entire album, The First Realm, released on September 8th, 2021. This album is a collection of peaceful melodies that perfectly represent the movement’s mission of world peace.
Mission Peace
2023
With The First Realm becoming a hit, we knew that people were looking for more. That is why we returned to the studio with the famed Chicago Recording Company to record a sophomore album called Mission Peace. The songs on our new record convey the movement’s various missives and endeavors through the engaging spoken word lyrical style of Casanova Ace and Gregory T. Simmons. A critical success, Mission Peace made it to the ballot of three 2023 Grammy categories— Best Rap Album, Best Rock Performance, and Album of the Year.
The critics and industry weren’t the only ones taking notice either. Songs from the new album have been added into regular rotation at numerous traditional radio outlets across the country while, online, our audio and video content has garnered more than 140 million views.
After 2022 it was 2023, so from having success with our former multi genre hip hop albums, we decided to drop our third album entitling it, “2023.” The first three tracks of 2023 are tribute songs to: Rolling Stone Magazine, Damar Hamlin & Ramsey Lewis. We also focus on Staunch Moderates philosophy, News & Sports Entertainment throughout the rest of the album. From our album, “2023,” we made it on the ballot at the 2024 Grammys for: “Rolling Stone” for Song of the Year, “Rolling Stone,” “Damar Hamlin,” & “Ransey Lewis” for Best Rap Song, “2023” for Best Rap Album &”2023 “for Album of the Year. We hope you enjoy!
Award-Winning Documentary
Mission Peace isn’t just the name of our sophomore album either; it is also the title of our new feature-length documentary film. Having appeared in eighteen film festivals and won three awards, this film chronicles the creation of the Staunch Moderates’ movement as well as our organization’s journey throughout the turbulent and polarizing 2020 presidential election.
This film is a celebration of our goal to create a worldwide consciousness addressing the intellectual and political divisiveness in today’s society by practicing and promoting moderation and striving for national and world peace.
This documentary features a wide range of personalities, including our founders Gregory T. Simmons and Professor Bo Persiko, as well as Clemmie Garard Jr. (rap artist known as Casanova Ace and WWE wrestling legend), Barry Goldwater Jr. (former US Congressman), Lou Ferrigno (former bodybuilding champion and advisor on the President’s Council on Sports, Fitness, and Nutrition), Maggie Connor (former Winter Olympian), Mamie Van Doren (Hollywood legend), and Edward P.
