This episode, we sit down with prolific Bay Area rapper, singer, and producer DARZ (@OfficialDARZ), the creator of Audio Drips and a key architect behind the Christian Hyphy sound. DARZ shares his journey from wanting to be an engineer to making beats on school tables and joining the high school drumline, eventually becoming a go-to producer. We discuss his early collaborations, pioneering a new genre with Miles Minnick, the story behind his iconic producer tag, navigating sync licensing, and his production process. Plus, DARZ drops hints about a major upcoming deal involving his GLO label collective, a potential TV show appearance, and the launch of his new high-end streetwear brand, Ether Collections (@ether.collections).
After the chat, DARZ performs his melodic track "Close Friends," a song uniquely created during a live Twitch stream.
