I’m not gonna lie, I have the last Hell Hole Store
album on my jogging playlist. So every once in a while, I hear Darko pumping
through my earbuds, and that butter-smooth energetic flow kicks me into another
gear. I often find myself chuckling at Darko’s wordplay. So imagine my delight
when the latest Already Dead batch included the latest Darko the Super tape.
IMAGINE IT!
I’m probably gonna upload this one too. Or, uh, wear
a big chunky Walkman and play the actual tape, since, you know, this is a
cassette site. (Psst: I’m not gonna
do that.)
The Devil
Defeated continues Darko’s Del/Serch storytelling saga, and this time the
Philly rapper takes on the greatest enemy ever envisioned – the Devil himself.
Fortunately, before we even hit bar one, we know that Devil’s going down,
because Darko said so, and at this point we believe
Darko. As impressive as that feat is, it’s not as impressive as the wordplay
making an absolute mockery of the foibles of everyday life, ripping a new blowhole
in every demonic interlude.
See, the Bible tells us that the Devil is behind
every bad thing, like traffic and indigestion and Twilight. So that just means the battle is real, every day, all the
time! That’s exhausting, but Darko can do it, Darko can take it on, always, and
here with a cadre of companions led by producer Steel Tipped Dove. (Hell Hole
buddy Ialive makes an appearance too!) And not only do Darko and crew take on the
most malevolent forces of evil, they do it with style and swagger.
Or, you know, you just roll with this great tape and
don’t worry about what’s going on behind the scenes. Darko’s got you covered
there too.
