“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

A nice chunky review of Max Moon’s “Little Do They Know” by Folded Waffle…
“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.

“Chadio floats over The Gumshoe Strut’s dusty loops with the kind of control that only comes from years in the trenches.” – Folded Waffle
Folded Waffle comes through with a review for “Flow State”, the third single from Chadio & The Gumshoe Strut’s upcoming Root Sellers album.
The third and final single from Chadio & The Gumshoe Strut’s upcoming album, Root Sellers, is out now!
On “Flow State”, Kamloops-based MC Chadio sinks deep into the zone — pairing effortless delivery with a beat that shuffles, swings, and hypnotizes. Producer The Gumshoe Strut laces the track with jazzy textures and lo-fi grit, creating the perfect space for Chadio to do what he does best: glide. This one isn’t just about rhyming — it’s about tapping into something meditative, focused, and fluid. If you’ve ever found yourself locked into a creative rhythm or lost in your own momentum, “Flow State” is your soundtrack. A perfect follow-up to the head-nodding “Bring It Back,” this track expands the Root Sellers soundscape — still grounded, still raw, but with an introspective twist.
Written and performed by Chadio
