Max Moon

I present to you: The Grand Howl. Out now on streaming + download & limited tapes/CDs at the @handsolorecords #Bandcamp. 🔗 in bio, commments and/or story. Much gratitude going out to all the listeners 🙏. Ft. raps from @shrapknel (@curlycastro & @premrock ), @mcultramagnus Ft. prod. from myself, @freshkils , @smuff.tha.quiz << Max Moon may be best known to the rap world as a rapper/producer with horrorcore trio Magick Show, but his solo effort veers madly off in alternate directions. Max Moon assumes most of the album’s production duties, save contributions from Juno-nominated MPC wizard Fresh Kils (“Little Do They Know”) and acclaimed Ukraine rapper/producer Smuff Tha Quiz (“Rendezvous”). And only a couple, impactful features appear on The Grand Howl, with Max Moon enlisting the prolific duo ShrapKnel (PremRock & Curly Castro, Backwoodz Studioz) for the stream-of-consciousness barrage of “DEAD END$” and friend, label-mate, and Toronto fire-spitter Ultra Magnus for the boom-trap anthem “Scrawlings”. The end result is an album that is wholly unique and ultimately true to this MC. The record was recorded/created in a series of home studios, with much of the work being done in a remote cabin on Manitoulin Island during the harsh Northern winter months. “I think I did it man. I think I found my voice on this project. It feels like I made a record that’s true to me and offers something fresh to you,” says Max Moon. “It’s a little rough, but I think it has a rugged charm - to me at least. It’s basically the noise generated by a lot of the trials, challenges but also triumphs me and my people were going through during the past 4+ years. That’s kind of what the title means to me. The Grand Howl - the collective noise generated by all human pain, joy, sadness, rising up to the heavens - the grandest howl of them all.” >> #sudbury #sudburyontario #hiphop #hiphopcanada #bars #weirdrap #northernbars #lyrics #artrap #albumdrop #rap #rapping #rapper #poetry #spokenword #alternativehiphop #altrap #weirdrap #canadianmusic #cbcmusic #undergroundrap

“DEAD END$” ft. @shrapknel is out now. 🔗 in bio, comments, and/or story. The release includes a stop motion lyric video created by me. “Max Moon delivers another fresh and captivating take with “DEAD END$”, the third single from his upcoming debut record, The Grand Howl, out September 26, 2025 on Hand’Solo Records. For this raw and moody self-produced joint, Moon taps in Philly/New York duo ShrapKnel, made up of @curlycastro and @premrock . On billy woods’ vanguard label @backwoodzstudioz , ShrapKnel has become venerated for their distinctive approach to lyricism and unorthodox production choices. The team-up is an instant fit. The result is an alluring, driving, stream-of-consciousness cypher, intersecting human relationships, culture and perception. The beat shifts from dark boom bap to loose, distorted breaks, and a blitz of drum and bass flavour supports Castro’s ever-unique, blazing delivery. The single is accompanied by an esoteric reconstruction of the song with a bold remix by electronic experimentalist @portal.soundart , a past Max Moon collaborator.”

Much love to Bluebloods Curation for adding @maxmoonunit 's remix of @pasqualebeats 's "WindDrift" to their Jazz Hip Hop playlist. Give it a listen here: /playlist/6gk28UDGMxyMyUkWCEXyrG #pasquale #maxmoon #winddrift #bluebloods #handsolorecords

Repurposing a DJ controller to make beats in my hotel room. WINDDRIFT by @pasqualebeats out now, incl. Max Moon remix! 😎

Wind drift is the long preferred mode of transportation for say, a tumbleweed in the desert, or perhaps a paper airplane launched off the side of a 200 storey high rise apartment building. We are the paper. Gliding through life at such a fantastic rate we hardly ever take the time to slow down and feel that breeze pass over. Air, wrapped tightly around each branch and twig, propelling us forward, and onward to the next destination. This is no mistake, just a big ball of sticks blowing in and out of municipalities and counties alike. Drifts of wind continue to shape and form everything from the clouds in the sky to the very landscapes we gaze upon in our daily travels. Energy flows and time will continue to carry us into the future.
