With DARIUS, producers Louis Menace and DJ Mirage deliver a dense, cinematic and uncompromising Raw Underground Hip-Hop album built for true rap purists.
Across 13 tracks, DARIUS blends dusty textures, grimy drum work, haunting melodies and heavyweight lyricism, creating a project deeply rooted in the spirit of classic East Coast rap while pushing toward a darker, modern underground aesthetic. The album brings together a powerful cast of international MCs, including AZ, Eto, Flee Lord, Hus KingPin, Daniel Son, XP The Marxman, Jamal Gasol, Yah Sin and more — each bringing raw bars, street poetry and unapologetic authenticity to the project.
Inspired by imperial imagery, forgotten empires and underground street culture, DARIUS stands as a dark and immersive body of work where Persian influences collide with New York-inspired grime and boom bap heritage. Every detail — from the production to the visual universe — was crafted to feel timeless, rare and tangible. The album is available now digitally worldwide, alongside two exclusive vinyl editions and a limited digipack CD edition designed for collectors and underground hip-hop enthusiasts.
