From the Bandcamp description:
Renowned for his pioneering sound, fat jon (Jon Marshall) stands as a defining force in atmospheric hip-hop. As a co-founder of the trailblazing Cincinnati group Five Deez, fat jon helped carve out a new space in underground rap, blending boom bap rhythms with jazzy, spacey textures and electronic flourishes. His solo projects, including his work as Maurice Galactica, have solidified his reputation as a visionary producer. With a career spanning decades, he continues to inspire generations of beatmakers, seamlessly merging deep melodies with hypnotic drum patterns.
His latest album, Obscurity Continuum, showcases his unmatched ability to evolve and captivate. The 12-track instrumental journey begins with signature atmospheric hip-hop beats, rich with ethereal synths and compelling bass lines. As the album progresses, it morphs into energizing breakbeats, echoing fat jon’s distinct, uplifting sound. Each track reveals layers of his craftsmanship, offering a dynamic listening experience that bridges introspective moods and kinetic rhythms, affirming his status as a master of beat-driven storytelling.
“This place, the space from which I create… I’ve seen that I’m actually able to reach people from there.
There are questions about where I live, my nationality, if I’m alive or not, etc. What matters is where the music comes from.
This is the concept of the Obscurity Continuum.”
