Darq - Darqness
Artist: Darq
Producer: Knowlege
Album: Risking It All Willingly
Label: Too Much Entertainment
It’s pretty much inevitable that, when a white rapper takes on a stage name like “Darq,” it’ll raise a few eyebrows. According to the Bronx rapper who goes by that moniker, however, the rationale behind his choice is more than just skin-deep; on the inaugural leak off his new mixtape (and his first Booth feature), he fills us in on what “Darqness” means to him. Backed by Knowlege‘s buzzing synths and booming tympani, the emcee sets the record straight, spitting, “They see the skin, hear the name and go irate / The ig’nant minded make sh*t about race, but little do they know darkness defines a mindstate…” Having dealt with that elephant in the room, the rapper goes on to offer a full showcase of his mic skills, dropping verses that should convince even the most jaded listener that he’s here, he’s hungry, and he’s determined to make it. If this joint’s made a fan out of you, you’re sure to find more to like on Darq’s Risking It All Willingly street album, released last Thursday, and available now for download online.

Man, that "Darkness, darkness, dark-ness" sample is super catchy. After a while, just like anything really, it could get annoying, but I'm on my 7th listen (roughly) and that has not happened yet.
Nice intro track to Darq. Not quite sure if this sound suits his style as an emcee, but its a good look.

First of all Darq is jsut a werid name but if a mc is truly talented than I can get use to it. The "Darkness" voice got annoying to me and just sounded weird. The beat as well sounded silimar to DMX's intro to the It's Dark and Hell's Hot album. Luckly dude is a nice mc but then again he's from Bronx so he should. If I hear more muisc from Darq than I think I can get past the name.

The Bronx being my hometown, I gotta say two things: 1. his tatoo on his profile picture is too sick, second he has some unpolished skills which only leave room for improvement. This is pretty decent track, ill look forward to hopefully future features, hell maybe ill see this guy on the train or something haha. But this track right here is too rough for radio so it stays on the streets.
