Midnights Sons are one of the most underrated and bad ass groups in comics with Moon Knight and Ghost Rider being two of the darkest/grimmest characters ever. Chong Wizard & Zilla Rocca have brought the Midnight Sons to life and finally shed some light on this supernatural super team.🌙⚱️💀🔥
Favorite track: Honest Living | Crooked Killing (feat. billy woods & Lord Juco).

Fantastic album. Dark ,cinematic grimey, layered and entertaining. There are some fKn heaters on this project. Not a huge fan of either but zilla is on one he'll of a creative streak with shrapnel cargo cults and now this. A must have for any fan of underground hardcore hip hop with great story telling, personality and great flows. Would love these 2 to link again !
Favorite track: Look The Other Way.

Amazing album from Chong Wizard and Zilla Rocca. Super dope beats from Chong Wizard and J-Zone on the drums and the rapping is great to. Overall one of 2020's best albums, Go get this right now, you can tell a ton of effort went into this project! And if that isn't enough, Nature and Malik B of The Roots are featured to. Chong Wizard Records showing its a force to keep an eye on for dope HipHop!
Favorite track: Millionaire Grammar (ft. Nature).

Loosely inspired by the occult Marvel supergroup of the same name, "Midnight Sons" from Philadelphia's Zilla Rocca (Wrecking Crew) and Vancouver's DJ Chong Wizard is a cryptic and poignant look at the modern hellscape of modern society no comic book writer could ever predict.
It's only right the album channel characters like Ghost Rider and Moon Knight, one cursed with an inferno stare to reflect the pain and suffering of others, the other a millionaire with a personality disorder obsessed with justice under moon light.
In times where no one wants to play fair, "Midnight Sons" examines local politrix ("Honest Living/Crooked Killing"), castigator mythos ("Vigilante Breakfast"), unabashed capital gains ("Millionaire Grammar"), and comic book escapsim ("Marc Spector's Theme", "The Gray Ghost", "Killadelphia").
The production from Chong Wizard is built on Japanese horror scores, psychadelic rock, Hitchcock strings, sub-woofer breaking bass, and live drums from the legendary J-Zone.
Zilla Rocca gets a helping hand from avant garde oracles (billy woods, Denmark, Curly Castro, PremRock, ALASKA) and street baptised soothsayers (Malik B, Nature, Lord Juco). After a busy year of nostalgia raps with Ray West and in-house one-upsmanship with ShrapKnel and Cargo Cults, Zilla Rocca is unleashed with biting commentary, cast-iron punchlines, and his trademark hard boiled story raps.
"Midnight Sons" is both gothic and straight forward, an ode to Mobb Deep's "Hell on Earth" as a record and as a mirror to our times.
