about

What would the banging yet smooth beats of DJ Premier, Pete Rock, and the sonic architects of ’90s boom-bap sound like today? Nova Scotian-based producer Darrell Kelloway aka DK has answered that question with his warm, analog-meets-digital hybrids of wistful yet modern boom-bap. Dust-coated samples of funk, soul, jazz, and more fuse with live instrumentation in his thumping scores, evoking images of vibrant graffiti murals on subway cars and unforgettable summer park jams that somehow exist in decades past and now. Listen to the Masters (Black Buffalo Records/Fat Beats), his new collaborative album with veteran Canadian MC Ghettosocks, is another brilliant entry in his progressive catalog. As Ghettosocks and a cast of revered rappers stimulate your mind, DK’s head-nodding beats hit your soul. continue reading

It’s flawless work coupled with giants.
