“…the rhymes and production on this joint album have a debt to both Kool Keith and Anticon…” – RapReviews
I missed this review from a few weeks ago by RapReviews of Epic & Deadly Stare’s A library called Calder. It got an average rating of 5/10, which isn’t great, but I appreciate that they took the time to review the album. Epic isn’t to everyone’s tastes, but if you like weird and experimental hip hop like Kool Keith and the Anticon collective, you’ll probably enjoy this album.

“Once you’re able to wrap your head around the idiosyncratic nature of this style, you can fully appreciate Max Moon’s lyrics and flow.” – The Wild is Calling

“Little Do They Know”, the first single from Max Moon’s upcoming debut album, The Grand Howl, is out now!
For the first single off his debut solo album, Nickel City MC Max Moon teams up with Toronto MPC & production heavyweight Fresh Kils, one of only two guest producers on his mostly self-produced The Grand Howl. On “Little Do They Know”, Max barrages the listener with reflective art rhymes across a warped canvas of gitched-out jazz-rap. He expresses a pride in modesty and a focus on the essential’s of life, or as he describes it: “Don’t need much, a hand to hold, some skin to touch”. He also asserts his individual and singular approach to the genre. “Little Do They Know” is bound to leave heads spinning as Max Moon shows the world that he does things in a way all his own.
Written and performed by Max Moon
Produced by Fresh Kils
