Darko The Super Shares The Nu-Rons-sampling "Loner" from Upcoming Bandcamp Friday Album Cruising with Darko & The Jets (Cold Rhymes Records)


Earlier this week, Philly-based rapper, producer, and resident weirdo Darko The Super announced the sheer existence of his new album available for pre-order. Cruising with Darko & The Jets will be released this upcoming Friday, September 3rd (the next Bandcamp Friday) through his friends at Cold Rhymes Records. Along with the album announcement and pre-order, Darko shared the first single from Cruising with Darko & The Jets, "Loner." It's been described as Darko The Super's Ghostface Killah-inspired homage over a Philadelphia Soul classic by The Nu-Ron's. Darko was seemingly exposed to said sample by Peter Maxwell "Max" Ochester at Brewerytown Beats/Records. Max's imprint, Brewerytown Records, recently released a digital collection titled All My Life (The Songs of Manny Campbell) featuring, amongst other dusty stand-outs, The Nu-Rons' "I'm A Loner," as sampled by Darko The Super throughout "Loner."


Cruising with Darko & The Jets is fully produced by Darko The Super himself with features peppered throughout from Torito, NOSAJ from New Kingdom, Height Keech, Ardamus, andrew. and Steve Sachs. "Name everyone on the front cover and win a free CD! Also, Subscribe to Cold Rhymes' Bandcamp [page] to hear an official companion mixtape to the album called Crew Zen, featuring unreleased tracks, samples, and a deeper look into Darko's creative process," Darko exclaims within a Subscriber email from his label, U DONT DESERVE THIS BEAUTIFUL ART. "Here's what else we having going on for this upcoming Friday: andrew.'s Pop 1967 on cassette, a new release from Broke MC & DJ Halo, and a big ole merch sale. See ya then!" Darko continued.
