Long Island duo, Darc Mind, have been the latest buzz. With the late-August release of Symptomatic of a Greater Ill, fans and critics are wondering what the hell took so long?!?!?!?!

Recorded between 1995 and 1997, when Loud Records came a-tumbling down, so did the hopes of Darc Mind of releasing the album as planned.

Nearly a decade later, Symptomatic is released by Anticon Records. Darc Mind’s debut album is a perfect combination of traditional gangsta rap and the then-emerging backpack rap. 

MC Kevroc and Producer/DJ GM Webb D (a.k.a. X-Ray) have not been shy about promoting their late but great album. They were spotted with KEXP in New York City at the CMJ Annual Music Marathon.

So what if Symptomatic of a Greater Ill  is a mere ten years behind? The album is a timeless classic from beginning to end. So stop complaining and listen to it already!
