The Baltimore Sun newspaper did a feature story on your boys from Darkroom.  We were actually blessed enough to make the cover of the LIVE! section, and in anticipation for the release of Hamsterdam 2, the paper's website leaked 3 songs from the album.  Check it out:

Darkroom has really been blessed this year with some incredible press.  Sometimes it seems like the journalists and writers simply won't stop calling,  and we truly appreciate it all.  The world is taking notice to us, our accomplishments, and the fact that Baltimore is next. 

To be in Rolling Stone Magazine is a blessing like no other.  You are talking about the most prominent and acclaimed music magazine of all time.  So when they came calling, we knew that this movement was serious.  Thanks again to Eric and Sonja at Rolling Stone for recognizing the grind, the music, and claiming that Bmore is on a short list of the next cities to blow.  See yall on top.  Holla
