Darko, Meechy - Gothic Lux LP (clear smoke vinyl)

Darko’s solo debut is a journey: not the trippy Laced Odyssey of Flatbush Zombies’ first album; nor the jubilant holiday of FBZ’s second record, Vacation in Hell. No, this album is a powerful insight into the dark, philosophical psyche of a rapper in the modern age. Without the support of his two co-stars in FBZ, Darko fairs incredibly well, proving beyond a doubt that he is capable of starring even without the slick-produced Erick the Architect beats and the speedy flows of Zombie Juice. Gothic Luxury is not a breath of fresh air; rather, it is a long-awaited exhale of familiar-tasting strain, cultivated expertly, packaged smartly, and satisfying exactly what we were looking for.
