We have a lot of time for Yoshi Riot here at HHL&T, so apologies for us sleeping on this dope flip of the Ian Brown track ‘F E A R’
‘Loser’ is the new album from Pennsylvania producer/emcee Darko The Super.
Featuring guest appearances from both legends of the game and rising stars, with the likes of Murdoc and Open Mike Eagle both in the album credits, and production coming from KVZE, Abjo and many more, this is truly Darko’s most ambitious project yet.
Drawing from his many varied inspirations, such as MF DOOM, Eyedea and even Beck (the clues in the title!), Darko combines free-flowing rhymes with gritty production to paint a picture of the weird and wonderful world his creative mind occupies. Movie fans will be delighted to find a myriad of references to some of their favourite cult films, alongside allusions to yet more of Darko’s inspirations such as the legendary J Dilla of Detroit.
Coming after the release of a long list of previous projects, it would be apt to refer to ‘Loser’ as Darko’s magnum opus. Laced with his signature style throughout the album’s 18 tracks, Darko The Super isn’t going to be for everyone. However Darko may perhaps be one of the only artists out there today who can say there’s no one else who really sounds like him. Staying true to the belief that hip-hop should proclaim originality as one of the key aspects of an artist’s success; ‘Loser’ will leave you wondering what the fuck you just listened to, but in a good way!

About The Legion and “The Lost Tapes”:
Straight from The Bronx, the home of hip-hop, comes the trio, The Legion (Chucky Smash, Molecules and Cee-Low). As signees to Black Sheep’s One Love imprint, they debuted in 1993 with the brilliant underground classic, “Jingle Jangle” – an ill piano sample driven track with a highly quotable finishing verse from Dres of Black Sheep. The Legion followed up with the sweet laden Roy Ayers looped up single, “Legion Groove” and their now much sought after debut album, “Theme + Echo = Krill” (1994) featuring affiliated acts like Black Sheep, Chi-Ali and Showbiz & A.G.
After a hiatus for a few years, they resurfaced with the 12-inch, “Street Thing / Caught Up” (1998) on Legion Records/Fat Beats and some appearances on Dres’ “Sure Shot Redemption” album. Then the Bronx trio went quiet.
While Molecules handled dope production for Dres, Mos Def, Milano, Amanda Marshall and even appeared on P!nk’s “Stupid Girls”, Chucky Smash’s been hosting radio shows in the BX. The three long-time friends never stopped doing music together but it was already 2011 when the trio finally made a dope comeback on the Beneficence collabo track, “Aim, Fire, Spit”.
“The Lost Tapes” ain’t only a simple compilation of rare and unreleased tracks, it’s rather a musical documentation of a group that has been staying in its lane creating raw, uncut, and uncompromising Bronx flavor for more than two decades now. So this 20-track strong album includes the rare 12″ single only “Freestyle Demolition” from 1994, rare old and unavailable on CD tracks, unreleased joints and instrumentals plus 3 brand new bangers (“For You”, “Stereo”, “Stereo [Remix]”), produced by The Legion, Buckwild, and Confidence (of Rashad & Confidence).
Take a trip down memory lane with these dope Bronx tales and street beats from The Legion and stay tuned for a brand new album plus the Molecules & Showbiz “A Bronx Tale” EP.

New York based lyricist, Choo Biggz, debuts his latest single “Tonight” off his upcoming album ‘Underground Star’.
Choo approaches 2Deep’s old school inspired production with a commanding presence that is reminiscent of DMX. He also recruits 50 Cent, who sounds famished lately (still in ‘Animal Ambition’ mode), and crooner Tank to add a little name recognition to the mix.
Expect a video for this track the same day ‘Animal Ambition’ drops, June 3rd.
