Darko the Super earns his name the rapper and producer from the experimental East Coast underground has built a reputation over years with dark, often apocalyptic subject matter. On "How To Play Basketball in the Rain and Not Get Wet" out everywhere October 20th, timed for the NBA season opener he shrinks that ocean of dread down to the puddles collecting on the local court. Instead of leaning into the surrounding horror, the album focuses on acceptance: learning to live with the shit-storms raining down upon us. The soundtrack matches that shift: eased funk-lifted soul, contorted in a fashion only Darko can pull off hypnotic buzzing bass and guitar licks, keeping everything stylish yet laid back and digestible. Not driving the lane, but lackadaisically rolling over to the rim. That's exactly the right frame for his reference-heavy, dizzying lines and Barry White-boy delivery, especially alongside collaborators Marcus Pinn and ialive. The ultimate basketball tribute to help you dribble across the bullshit.
