Hear Ye Him is the debut solo studio album by American rapper No Malice. The album was released independently on August 18, 2013, by Reinvision. The album features guest appearances from Ab-Liva, Pusha T, Fam-Lay and Jaeson Ma among others.
At a concert on April 30, 2010, No Malice announced that he and Pusha T would release solo albums later in the year. On March 6, 2012, he announced his intention to change his name from Malice to No Malice. On May 21, 2013, it was announced the intended album release on July 2, 2013, but the album was later pushed back. In May 2013, during an interview with Hip Hop Since 1987, No Malice spoke about what to expect from the album, saying:
"The album is entitled Hear Ye Him. One time I was listening to all my tracks and I got this rush of chills all over my body. This is by far my best work ever. It’s inspirational. It makes for great music, and not only that, when that record goes off it’s gonna leave you with a lot to think about. What I’ve come to find is that when a lot of people hear my story and hear this new direction, it really breaks the ice. And a lot of people can identify. And then sometimes we just need that person to be the first to break the ice. And then you’ll see that a lot of people actually have experienced a lot of the same things and feel the same way."
In June 2013, during an interview with Vibe, No Malice spoke about some of the producers and features on the album, saying: "I have, of course, Chad Hugo. I have S1, Illmind and a group of guys from Virginia that goes by the name of Profound Sounds who actually did the title cut "Hear Ye Him." They also did "Bury That" as well. There's also a young lady here from Virginia named Bri and she's on a song called "Different." She's a young 19-year-old with an incredible voice. John Bibbs, he's from Richmond, also on "Bury That." Cam Calloway. He produced a song called "Blasphemy," that's featuring Famlay. I definitely kept the spotlight on Virginia." On July 17, 2013, it was announced the intended released on August 18, 2013. On July 29, 2013, the final track listing and album cover were revealed, revealing 17 tracks and guest appearances on the album from Ab-Liva, Fam-Lay, Life Dutchee, Pusha T, Jon Bibbs, Eric David, PK Oneday, Bri and Jaeson Ma.
