A prominent exponent of pithy raps from the streets of Stuttgart, Dardan is a slick freestyler fuelled by an array of genres, including UK grime. His 2017 single “Mister Dardy” showcases his knack for indelible hooks. But his strongest suit is his impeccable flow, which he put front and centre on the striking “Acapellas” edition of his 2019 album SORRY... Whether singing in warm R&B tones or incorporating sax riffs, Dardan readily adds layers to his prolific output. He alternates between trap, dancehall and gangsta rap, both as a soloist and alongside prominent rappers like Eno, Luciano and Capital Bra.
