A.K.A. Darnell

I'm a young, black, gifted, and intelligent guy born in Cali and raised in Illinois. I'm mainly inspired by 90's hip-hop and R&B. I just recently started working with 118 West Studios in Simi Valley, CA. Producers if I use your instrumentals, please don't sue, i don't have access to PayPal or a credit card. I promise to do it justice. My goal with my music is to become the greatest emcee of all time surpassing Tupac status.
