Darko the Super, andrew - Then I Turned Into a Perfect Smile

Traverse the grey days with avant-garde madcap lyricist, Darko the Super, and producer andrew as they battle head on against a cyclone of concerns that most in our shared society attempt to ignore. Disease, famine, a crumbling structure, and depleting natural resources. It’s all there, just floating in our space. And soaring amongst it all is our faithful host Darko, holding on during a bizarre juxtaposition shit-storm, where depression jet streams rip him from smooth sailing. Nostalgia bleeds through to regret. Lethargic to energetic.
Before nosediving down again.

Refusing to sidestep the daily troubles of the world, Darko incorporates these dire moments into his spun yarns about faces and places that populated brighter days. Cutting up hanging cloud coverage, Darko arms himself with quick quips and tales of cartoonish scenarios with his signature mocking vocal tone delivery, always leaving the audience questioning with what’s to come next.

But he’s far from alone on this emotionally hazardous metamorphosis. His co-pilot assisting to lift Darko into these heights is none other than rapper, producer and all-around Philly music formulator, andrew. Building the vessel with a menagerie of sound and sample layering, andrew allows Darko and other past creative collaborators like Homeboy Sandman and ialive to perform lyrically aerial maneuvers.

So fall in, tune out the times, and prepare for Darko and andrew’s transformative journey. Observe them simmer in suffocating shadows stronger than gravity and still survive. Finding first acceptance and then growth within it. And from there, locating a place in the sun where they can finally turn into a perfect smile, despite all reasonable doubt.
