MH-217 Listener - Whispermoon  Whispermoon, the debut solo album from Listener, is a fourteen song collection of undeniably underground hip-hop. Combining rhymes that bounce between spiritual observation and old-school wordplay with backing tracks based on melodic samples and grit-drum counter rhythms, Listener displays an ear for dark uses of sound and the ability to rely on traditional flow to remain memorable and accessible. Guest MCs include Manchild of Mars Ill and Listener's Deepspace5 and Labklik crew members. Acclaimed Mars Ill producer Dust is the force behind the bulk of the music with additional production handled by Gruntwork, Fred Bruno, Ill, and Listener himself. Whispermoon is a notable debut and a sign of great things to come. |

| Listener exudes pure, unadulterated, raw hip-hop with lyrics that wax poetic on intimate subjects such as love and spirituality. Simply put, Listener represents fundamental underground rap at its finest, with his unfiltered and aggressive style on the opposite side of the PUTS crew. Listener's beats possess a dark blend of dirty loops and hard-hitting drums that compliment his lyrical flow brilliantly. One could characterize his style as abstract hip-hop, but his messages hit too clearly. - Relix |
