Naarm/Melbourne MC MAMMOTH releases his sincere and profound debut album OPUS MAGNUM. MAMMOTH.’s candid storytelling and pensive bars are laid upon soulful instrumentals, artfully crafted by acclaimed producer and multi-instrumentalist Silentjay. Born out of a close collaboration between the two artists, OPUS MAGNUM’s genesis lies in a trip the duo made to a remote forest cabin, with the mission to write and record as many songs as possible within a week. This isolated environment allowed them to become their most focused, introspective and vulnerable selves as artists; and what resulted is a deeply personal and authentic record rich in narrative, wrapped in emotive, detailed production. OPUS MAGNUM also bears features from some of Melbourne alt-rap’s finest, with contributions from Chef Chung, Son Ray and CD, elevating the release even further and securing its place as an instant classic.
