The hip hop artist known
internationally as Dark Source has released his monumental
full-length record, “If Hip Hop Should Die...” The album includes
15 original tracks for an approximate total listening time of one
hour. It has been proudly published as an independent release without
the direction or financial support of the corporate music industry.
Mixing elements of old-school with sharp production and contemporary
beats and melody lines, “If Hip Hop Should Die...” is an LP
proving Dark Source to be one of the year's most intriguing artists.
Dark Source has cited as main artistic
influences such legends of the mic as Tupac Shakur, Rachelle Ferrell,
Micheal Jackson, Scarface, Master P, Nas, MC Breed and Dayton Family.
His own lyric style blends highly narrative storytelling and urban
poetry with an aggressive delivery. These are laid down over deep
cuts and grooves which bring to mind the 808s and 909s of yesteryear.
Fans of all hip hop scenes have something to look forward to in “If
Hip Hop Should Die...”
Hailing originally from Michigan and
residing now in Indiana, Dark Source is closest to the East Coast
style of hip hop, but many elements of West Coast (and a few from
Dirty South) rap are present in his work. He has been rapping and
beatboxing since the age of six. He has been described as having “a
unique style and the ability to learn fast, excellent with the
lyrical content, voice, experience, consistency and patience.”
He has been performing live since 2003
and has been a member of the Gwapp City Gangstas in Grand Rapids, MI.
He has recorded two albums and seven mixtapes available in more than
150 nations worldwide.
“I’m confident in my future all
around Full Circle,” Dark Source writes, “because I’m
determined with a lot of ambition.”
Asked to comment on his new “If Hip Hop Should Die...” album, he writes, “Adversity… Persistence… this is my story!”
