New Music: Darnell Williams – “Round Here”

Fresh off impressing listeners with his debut single and self-directed visual for “South Central”, Los Angeles transplant by way of Detroit, Darnell Williams, returns with his second track, “Round Here.” Coming from a place of forward thinking, striving to make impactful hip-hop, the track features Darnell delivering incorruptible bars over immersive production to create a hard-hitting anthem.

Speaking on the track, Williams explains, “It’s a song about the other side of Detroit, the side 8 Mile the movie didn’t talk about, the side journalists could never cover because they aren’t welcome.”

For an artist in his early twenties, Darnell Williams has quite the back story; creating official videos for the likes of Big Sean before hitting rock bottom and becoming briefly homeless. Now after recently performing “Round Here” in front of 14,000 fans at Austin360 for X Games, Darnell is putting his unique influences into music to great effect.
