The Marsonist releases new LP 'Hell On Earth'

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE –

The Canadian rapper known as the Marsonist has released his latest LP record album, “Hell On Earth.” The album is comprised of 12 original tracks for an approximate total listening time of 50 minutes. It is

the Marsonist's most significant and powerful publication since his hit single release in spring, “Get Em,” which also appears on “Hell On Earth” and features Young Noble. Also featured on the Marsonist's latest record are the talents of Chucc Brown, RubyRax, Oli, Despa, and Choclair. A comprehensive and heavy-hitting treatment of Marsonist tracks, “Hell On Earth” (H.O.E.) is one of the season's most anticipated and aggressive rap records by far.

The Marsonist cites as main artistic influences, “different genres like hip hop, R 'n' B, reggae, and Rock, to drum and bass, dubstep, and other EDM-type music,” but he also notes that his own art isn't derived from some outer source. “Most of my artistic influences derive from my own life experiences, observations, and opinions I have,” he writes.

The writing of “Hell On Earth” is exceptional. His lines and rhymes curl and turn, punch and wheel, spin and fly. The performances of all artists appearing on the album are staggering, yet the writing of the lyrics still wins out over all. This is at least partially because the Marsonist has so very much to say.

“The message that I am trying to deliver with 'Hell On Earth,'” he writes, “is that life is not easy, and that sometimes you are forced to go through hell in order to reach your goals and live your dreams. My goal is to express my own thoughts and experiences through my music, in order to inspire and reach people from all over the world who can relate to the message that I portray in my songs.”

These songs range in topic from the party anthem (“We Run the Party”) to the combative (“Get Em”) but each track is a work of art in its own right, complete with deep cuts and bumping beats that groove straight to the bone.

“Hell On Earth” by the Marsonist is available online worldwide.

Canadian rapper The Marsonist releases new single 'Get Em'

The rap artist from Toronto, Canada known as The Marsonist has released his latest hip-hip single, titled, “Get Em,” featuring Young Noble from Outlawz. The track is available in both an explicit edition and a version edited for radio. It represents the most capital official release from The Marsonist since his 2012 single release, "Rockstar," which featured fellow Canadian rapper, Choclair. “Get Em” is full of the same brutal power and arresting energy that made “Rockstar” an instant classic across North America and overseas via Internet radio.

Although both “Get Em” and “Rockstar” are true urban anthems, “Get Em” is the more traditionally so. It utilizes digital instrumentation that is reminiscent of artists like Snoop Dogg, Dr. Dre, and Tupac Shakur, and although it takes many creative twists and turns – like all Marsonist music – its foundation is bare-bones hip hop through and through, from start to finish.

Often hosted by popular hip-hop kingpin, DJ Disspare (StreetKillaz, Coast2Coast DJs), The Marsonist's music is expert poetry spat to viciously composed beats and melodies. The production of his sound is perfect, with every level sounding as if it were at volume 10, yet never feeling overwrought or overproduced.

The Marsonist's lyrics pull no punches, and his use of vernacular shows him to be a great proponent of freedom of speech. His quick-witted lines are often crass, often funny, and always show a great deal of forethought and intelligence. He picks relevant themes to speak about, and wastes little time talking about the tired, old hip hop cliches.

Regarding the themes of “Get Em,” The Marsonist writes, “The song is based around the theme, 'Fight for your money.' If you want something, you gotta work hard and make it happen yourself. Success doesn't come easy. The song is inspirational.”

“Get Em” by The Marsonist is available online everywhere beginning spring 2013.
