Review

Lil Darkie's third studio voyage, "SWAMP," dropped in 2020, is an audacious dive into the artist's psyche, brimming with dark, industrial beats and probing, introspective lyrics. The "SWAMP" metaphor shrouds the tumultuous state of his mind as much as it critiques the chaotic political landscape. But make no mistake, this isn't just political commentary—it's a raw, visceral journey through Lil Darkie's mindscape, where he wrestles with the suffocating weight of his own thoughts and emotions.

Musically, "SWAMP" is a hardcore hip-hop beast, dripping with heavy, distorted production that feels like a punch to the senses. Tracks like "SWAMP" and "HANGING MYSELF WITH MY PHONE CHARGER" are prime examples, with unrelenting beats and hooks that are as catchy as they are unsettling. The raw honesty in Lil Darkie's lyrics paints a vivid picture of mental torment and the futility of trying to "drain the swamp," with the haunting refrain, "The swamp never drained," echoing a pervasive sense of hopelessness. His delivery is intense and dripping with emotion, making "SWAMP" a powerful, thought-provoking listen that's as relatable as it is unsettling. - Cal
