Album US 2011 on Hoverock Records label
Hip-Hop/Rap
The long awaited debut solo album by JestOneArt, Esq and TheParadoxicalState: The "DarkCity" album was a project started by theParadoxicalstate's front-man Jestoneart back in the year 2001 right after the attack on the World Trade Center. Jestoneart, typically known for his more complicated-word-usage-battle-rhyme format, toned it down a bit for his debut album. The album weaves in and out of street themes and concept rhymes. Battle rhymes not included. Nevertheless, DarkCity remains complex in its own right. According to Jest and Dekoy: "DarkCity was meant to be a personal project - never meant to be pressed or sold as an album. A couple of the tracks got released through DJ Cipone's mixtapes. The tracks got an ill response from the underground. Thats when we decided to release the whole dam thing." "I know this album will be hard for a lot of cats to swallow" says Jestoneart, "but, I write about life. REAL LIFE. Dark Life. Ugly Life. I touch upon things that we all end up kickin' ourselves in the ass for. And so I think that many more will relate to it if they give it a chance." Released 15 March 2011 Vocals by JestOneArt, Esq. Production by Dekoy Oktopus. 2000-2010 Hoverock Music, Inc.
