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. |

| Tough-as-nails beats meet relevant, thought provoking flows on Listener's debut solo album. The young Atlanta emcee, a member of revered underground hip-hop crew Deepspace5, lyrically takes on faith, opportunists, the cash-driven music biz and even love. And unlike that other white rapper, whose message often gets buried under a flurry of anger, hate and four-letter words, this young hip-hopper has chosen a much higher, much more productive, decidedly more positive and far less traveled road. - San Francisco Examiner |
