Johnny Darko‘s staccato flow is the basis of his brand: he has been, for years, testing his mettle in Toronto’s fertile underground scene with established spitters. His 90s reminiscent brand of delivery is no-nonsense and classic. His EP Dusty n’ Depressed with frequent collaborator Jake Bluez sounds like an emotional rollercoaster where the two are exploring normcore-ish ideals using smooth beats and gritty downtown hip-hop. After being dropped on Spotify, the project has been getting some serious attention. So it only makes sense for the two to release a video for one of the stand-out tracks off their EP entitled “Beef.”
In the Alex Burcea-shot clip the two hit New York City and explore Tri-State landmarks. The clip is pretty low-fi yet deliberately abstract to create artsy visuals to match producer Cream‘s unique sonic style. Darko is dressed to the teeth with a gaudy amount of gold while Bluez is clearly at war with superficial fashion tropes. If you like vaporwave and doing acid, this might be your cup of alt-rap.
