Album Notes

This is it!!!! It's been a long time coming but it's finally here -- the full length Darkside Crooks album/dvd combo!!! It includes a full length audio CD featuring the DSC's unique blend of lyrics, bravado, and mic-rippin' all backed up by Frane's funk laden gangsta beats. It includes a DVD featuring 6 of the DSC's music videos as well as behind the scenes footage and interviews for the making of the lead video, "Nuthin' But the DSC." If you've heard the original Darkside Crooks album, you will recognize and appreciate the remixes to the DSC fan favorites "WHISKEY, WEED & SEX" and "BEATS & RHYMES" as well as several hot new songs not available on the first album such as the gauntlet throwing "ORANGE & BLUE" and the sonic marvel "SMOKE, DRANK", a collaboration with one of Oakland's finest underground groups, The Rich Pezzantz. If you haven't heard the first DSC album, you're in for a treat, something you've never heard before and likely won't hear again! And if you're into story-telling rbnymes and you only listen to one more rap song the rest of your life make sure you don't miss the 13 minute, critically acclaimed epic that tells the origin of these three mighty time-traveling wino-rap-warriors, "The Wino, The Warlock & The Shogun!" The Darkside Crooks are a rap group made up of three wicked South Central MCs and one crazy smoker/skater/DJ. BobDawgsta the Darkside Wino, (aka Bobby from Survivor: Exile Island on CBS) who "don't do @%@! unless he's tipsy", was a contestant on the past season of SURVIVOR on CBS and is known across the 9 plains as a drunken lyrical maniac, long ago corrupted by the sinister vapors of the mysterious Black Cube. BobDawg is the deadliest disciple of the mythical 3 Headed Whiskey Beast and is known for "killin 9 killaz with one swing" of his granite battle axe. Bob Dawg is the Prime-Bearer of the "Darkside Chalice" and Chief Defender of the "Darkside Flag." Stik Figya the Darkside Warlock, last survivor of the "Twelve Thousand Dark Monks," is the high and exalted "Ill Nicest on Mic Devices" and is a cunning lyrical spellcaster capable of turning his "body matter into evil shadow currents" and is known for "packing lyrics/ like dogs and rips/ pack gats and clips." Stik Fig is the bearer of the "Potion of Patience" and is cultivator of the "Dark Chonic Leaves." Snook Dawgsta the Darkside Shogun, long lost brother of BobDawgsta the Darkside Wino, is an invincible rhyme fighter skilled in all disciplines of combat and is known to "process all disciplines of fighting quick like Matrix, time for battle/systematically sever the tongues of students so no one could tattle." Snook Dawgsta is the Undefeated "Defender of the Dark Belt." Known for the "2 Finger Death Grip" (which he taught to dat foo' Darth Vader back in the days), Snook Dawg travels the cosmos collecting the heads and title belts of opponents dumb enough to battle him. Last but not least, the Almighty DJ Frane, who's turn-table spell casting allowed him to assemble these time-traveling wino-warrior rhyme fighters to assist him in his eternal quest to unravel the secrets of the "Black Cube" and defeat the forces of the annoying Lightside. Join the Darkside Crooks, under the guidance of The Enigmatic DJ Frane, on their mythical journey as they travel throughout time and space fighting battles for the fate of hip-hop, smashin' foos mercilessly and leaving light-side heathens in their wake.
