No matter how much talent you have, getting recognized is not easy. Sure, you might release dope content on the regular, but that doesn’t mean you are destined for stardom. While he might have been overlooked before, young gun Kwame Darko is so confident in his abilities that he is happy to, “Bet They See Me Now.” If they don’t see him after this, they must be blind as bats, because the kid can spit. Over a boisterous, epic beat by Felix Snow, Darko sets the alarm for those who have been sleeping, showcasing a hungry, almost angry flow as he raises a middle finger to the haters.

Bio
Born and raised in the suburbs of Washington, D.C., Kwame Darko embodies diversity in an ever-changing music industry. Fortunate enough to have grown up in an environment that embraces all social and economic walks of life, his passion for music and excellence creates a strong formula for success.
His love for music began at a young age but it wasn’t until high school that Kwame and a local following realized his passion was more than just a hobby. After being selected to appear on a Def Jam bound recording compilation several doors opened and Kwame set out to pursue his passion fully.
Kwame’s success as an athlete led him to the University of Maryland, where as a member of the school’s nationally-acclaimed soccer team, he managed to find a balance between academics, music, and a demanding athletic schedule.
Since moving to New York to further his career, Kwame has performed at renowned venues like The Fillmore, Rock and Roll Hotel, and Music Hall of Williamsburg to name a few in addition to a wide variety of popular clubs and lounges across the country. Having gone on tour and appeared with artists like Big Sean, Wale, Wiz Khalifa, and Sean Paul, Kwame’s resume is far from lacking.
Beyond the stage, Kwame’s eye for talent, songwriting, producing, business savvy, and overall marketability proves his value as an asset at any level in the music industry.
