The DJ, rapper, and music producer
known as Darkside has released his latest EP album, “Free Agent
(Tru Stories).” The EP contains six original songs and has an
approximate total listening time of 22 minutes. It proudly has been
released on the Born Famous Entertainment independent record label.
Heavy on the bass, racked with rhythm and packed with urban poetry,
“Free Agent (Tru Stories)” by Darkside is clearly one of the
indie rap titles to hear in the summer of 2014.
Darkside cites as main artistic
influences some of the most seminal songwriters in hip hop, including
KRS-One, Rakim, Wu-Tang Clan, DMX, the Notorious B.I.G.,and Jay-Z.
These inspirations speak volumes about the material listeners can
expect from Darkside on “Free Agent (Tru Stories).” His natural
groove and unstoppable flow loom second only to the weight of his
carefully penned lyrics. Like much of the work of KRS-One, Tupac
Shakur and Michael Franti, Darkside's material is gritty,
true-to-life and cleverly worded.
Darkside, who started as a DJ at the
age of 10, was raised in Baltimore with hip hop in his bones and a
message in his mind.
“My message to my listeners,” he
writes, “is that if you have a dream, pursue it. Everyone has their
ups and downs in life but if you stay focused on your dreams, then
the sky's the limit.”
The dual title of his new record is
both literal and appropriate. It is his debut solo release, having
collaborated with other artists for many years. It is also a work of
non-fiction.
“Everything that I write is real,”
Darkside comments. “If you're good at writing and telling stories,
then share it with the world. Whatever you feel God has blessed you
with, take advantage of your gifts and pursue your dream. You will
never know how successful you can be if you don't try. Be as real as
possible and strive to be the best at everything you do in life.”
“Free Agent (Tru Stories)” by
