Phoenix Hip-hop Artist Rhymi Hits 23k Monthly Listeners 12 Days After Album Release

PHOENIX - Rezul -- Independent hip-hop artist Rhymi has crossed 23,400 monthly listeners on Audiomack with his debut album Gemini Season, just 12 days after the project's May 3 release. Total album plays on the platform have surpassed 24,000, with no prior catalog, no major-label distribution, and no traditional press cycle to speed the climb. For an independent indie hip-hop artist out of Phoenix, the numbers represent a clear algorithmic and community signal — Gemini Season is finding its audience the old-fashioned way.

"I made this album in the in-between moments," Rhymi says. "The drives, the late nights, the days nothing was going right. It's about the version of me that has to keep moving forward and the version of me that needs a minute. Both are real. Both are on this record."

About Gemini Season

A 16-track full-length project that lives where melodic rap meets lyrical hip-hop — the kind of project that rewards both the casual stream and the close listen. Gemini Season explores the duality at the heart of the Gemini sign: ambition and reflection, confidence and doubt, the public version of self and the private one. It's not a concept album in the literal sense — it's a self-portrait in motion.

The album is rooted in Phoenix specifically — Midnight In Peoria, 11 PM In Phoenix, and Desert Moses anchor Gemini Season to a city and a sound, while cuts like The Secret Of The Yod, Sunrise, and the closer 2008 trace the broader emotional arc of the project. Two skits — both featuring Chris Cash — punctuate the album in the tradition of classic hip-hop full-lengths.
