Daramola, the signature producer for The Social Club Misfits that led to their Capitol Records deal, is now releasing his second full length album. From Nigeria, Daramola’s sound shatters stereotypes with world music melodies, distinctly pop sounds, and big beats.
Daramola has distinctly Christian lyrics, which he expresses not only in English lyrics, but also in Yoruba, and with Karen Inder, backing him up in Spanish. The result is a beautiful expression of how Christian music is changing and reaching new audiences, not only on the wave of Christian hip hop in America, but also across the world. Daramola’s ground-breaking sound can already be heard on Gary Vee’s YouTube channel, and on one of the biggest radio stations in Africa, THE BEAT 99.9 (Lagos, London).
The new album focuses on positive messages ranging from anti-drug, to breaking through barriers, enduring in relationships, and getting rid of things in life that hold you back.
