Synopsis

Album Description
Every so often a musician comes along who uniquely captures the attention of the listener in a personal, heart-felt manner. Median has done just that. Median is part of the North Carolina based Hip-Hop crew The Justus League, which also consists of members Little Brother, The Away Team, Cesar Comanche, L.E.G.A.C.Y., E.A.F., Chaundon and more.

Median first received a tremendous amount of attention and critical acclaim in 2003 when he emerged on the Hip-Hop scene with his memorable guest appearance on Little Brother's certified-classic debut album, The Listening. Median made an even stronger impression on the Hip-Hop community with his classic 2005 single "Comfortable" (produced by 9th Wonder) b/w "2 Sided Coin (Remix)" (produced by Khrysis), as well as his outstanding songs such as "Visionary" and "Median Alleviates the Drama (M.A.D.)" from his critically acclaimed independently-released debut EP entitled The Path to Relief EP (2005). Median has since received even more recognition from his stand-out performances and quotable verses on albums including The Foreign Exchange's Connected, Rapper Big Pooh's Sleepers, Kenn Starr's Starr Status and Cesar Comanche's Squirrel And The Aces, leaving fans yearning for more material from the gifted lyricist. Now, with the recent release of his new chart-topping single "Rize" (produced by Khrysis) b/w "Love Again" (produced by Koen) & "How Big Is Your World?" (produced by 9th Wonder), as well as the forthcoming release of his debut full-length album Median's Relief, Median is well on his way to proving himself as one of Hip-Hop's brightest talents and one of Hip-Hop's future stars.

Median's Relief features outstanding production from 9th Wonder, Khrysis, Nicolay, Ant B, and more, as well as guest appearances from the likes of Joe Scudda, Chaundon, L.E.G.A.C.Y. and Spectac. From thought-provoking tracks, to uplifting and emotional songs, to captivating storytelling songs, to cleverly inventive songs, Median's Relief covers a wide-range of emotions and subject-matter that is sure to engage and connect with the listener in a distinctive and electrifying way. Median's Relief is a genuinely special and unique work of art that is sure to secure a place as one of the most notable, original and influential Hip-Hop albums of its time.
 

CD Reviews

Very good album
Noah E. Thomas | Chicago ILL USA | 12/17/2008
(5 out of 5 stars)

"This album is a sleeper. Median is a very underrated artist and the production is some of the best I've heard. Simile is still one of my favorite songs of 08.

If you like smooth beats and rhymes with substance, cop this album. you can tell Median put time into the order and flow of the songs... they all have meaning and aren't just a bunch of random verses about nothing.



This, Below the Heavens and Scenic Route are probably my 3 favorite hiphop albums of 2008."
Best this year
Jay from Jersey | 10/20/2007
(5 out of 5 stars)

"I have heard Talib's "Ear Drum", Kanye's "Graduation". and Common's "Finding Forever", and in my opinion, Median's "Relief" is superior to all of them. It has the best beats, lyrics, flow, and hooks. It is a very consistent album that does not disappoint."
