The sounds of afrobeats are the perfect vibe for the summer and thankfully, Darkoo's fusion of afrobeats along with elements of hip-hop and drill has helped soundtrack previous summers. Songs like "Gangsta" still ring off two years after its release but Darkoo's subsequent releases have been effective in bringing a similar vibe while expanding her own sound.
This week, Darkoo delivered a vibe for the summer with her new EP, 2 In 1. The project is a quick 7-song effort with a run-time of a little over 20 minutes, making it a smooth listen from top to bottom. The project includes appearances from Tion Wayne, who appears on the previously released single, "Slow Down," Unknown T, Gabzy, and Blanco.
