Manco Wilder - There Is No Sunrise Yet To Come (Album)

Manco Wilder, a rising underground hip-hop sensation, emerges from obscurity with his second studio album, ‘There Is No Sunrise Yet To Come’.

Little is known about the mysterious spitter, but he drew critical acclaim for his debut project, ‘The Phantom of the Corner Store’, which featured billy woods and other notable rappers advancing the modern underground movement.

The 13-track album transcends the ingenuity and artistry of The Phantom of the Corner Store. Wilder’s DIY ethos radiates as he intertwines elements of East Coast boom-bap with Southern rap textures over experimental soundscapes produced exclusively by Canadian producer Pasquale.

The album’s raw and authentic lyricism paints pictures of regret, sorrow, anger, and joy. Rapper DMX once said, “To live is to suffer. To survive, well, that’s to find meaning in the suffering.” Wilder’s lyrics throughout the album affirm that he’s experienced many dark days, but greener pastures are in arm's reach thanks to rap music.

His thought-provoking, left-field raps flourish on Pasquale’s ethereal instrumentation that transforms underground rap’s minimalistic aesthetic. The cinematic beats and flows are enhanced with guest verses from rappers like ElCamino (“Companeros”) and Eddie Kaine (“Captain Trips”). “I wanna disappear, so I did metaphorically,” raps Wilder at the opening of the album’s final song (“The Revenant”), which epitomises his purpose because he rises like the reaper to drop an album deeply rooted in the spirit of underground hip-hop.

Listen as Manco Wilder unearths a treasure trove of gems deep within his psyche. Dig it, or don’t f*ck with it.
