专辑简介

Daren Todd is a rapper, poet, and musician born and raised in Lompoc, California. He inherited an affinity for music and literature at a young age from his parents. Combining both passions, he created a music career that spanned the space-time vortex and landed here on Earth to brighten our journies. When he showed up on the scene shortly after high school, his profound sense of story and optimism quickly made a name for him. He is most known for “Daren 7:16”, a prolific project where he releases sixteen lines of verses every day. He has collaborated with a vast array of indie musicians and producers to create a diverse and deliciously fresh collection of work. Daren Todd recently moved to Portland, Oregon and joined the ranks of It’s Future Time to help make the world a funkier place.

Darren Todd’s newest single, Coast, is a heavy-hitting riptide of new school funk. The harmonies gently ebb and flow throughout the song like waves lapping on a rocky shore. Hypnotic bars are delivered with the fervor and tenacity of an artist put through the ringer as a chorus of vocals back him up with a danceable likeability. At it’s core, Coast is a love story, a back and forth, a compromise. It’s also about confronting the very nature of time - how it can bring people together, tear them apart, and ultimately keep moving - like the ambivalent force of nature it is. Todd finds himself the only constant through this epic rollercoaster of life and love. The listener floats effortless along next to him as he takes it on, one breath at a time, passionately witnessing every moment like it could be his last. This song leaves you feeling all the feels and grooving along entranced in its beats.
