In an age where the radio stations play the same “18 jams in a row” day in and day out and the songs don’t carry a message no longer but a dance instrumental, and your choice of ass shakin’ or coke blowin’, one artist manages to stand out. That artist is Darren Hanible. Darren is a young man in the sense of the meaning,a 17yr old but has the mentality of a much more mature crowd. His character shines through the dusk and provides us with the “light” in his latest mix-tape, The Darkside Of The Moon. Hip-Hop isn’t dead, its close to extinction, but I believe its the few artist out there like Darren who help bring the hip-hop culture and music back to a prolific genre. The Darkside of the moon is definitely a mix-tape that will change your outlook on DMV rappers/emcees and help you acknowledge the talent that lays in the metropolitan area. So enjoy the mix-tape, here for the world to enjoy, thanks for downloading. I promise you that it will be a good listen.
