Effective period / Period of releases: 2015 - 2021

Darko The Super is the sample-heavy MC/producer iconoclast who makes all other artists look lazy. With almost 60 albums under his belt it’s safe to say he loves music and he loves what he’s doing. Darko The Super is an unusual artist in sound and personality. His music tends to be more chaotic and noisy than mainstream artists, but also holding much deeper meaning than most popular musicians of today. For Pennsylvania-based artist Evan Souza (AKA Darko the Super), the idea of self-evaluation through a pointed emotional immolation lies at the heart of his hip-hop reality. His music is almost uncomfortably intimate—there's a sense of intrusion as we hear him dole out experiences that make us cringe while effortlessly involving us in a larger musical scheme. Darko performs a certain self-flagellation through a series of voyeuristic musical acts. The beats are vibrant and shake the walls around you, even as his words detail dramatic and often-unpleasant events from his past. By stripping away the defenses of his own heart, he gives us a glimpse into the mechanics of his own musical and emotional perspectives. With that being said, there may be no other emcee currently active that is more distinct than Darko the Super.
