Darrell Cole
From Sierra Leone to Antwerp, via Barcelona, heading towards London. And now, the rest of the world! Darrell Cole has been paving his way for over 15 years. The Antwerp rap veteran, with roots in Sierra Leone, scored radio hits in 2016 with tracks like Take Me Away and BOATS. For a while, his videos were constantly on music channels, but he still had to fight for radio airplay in Belgium. After that, things went quiet for a time, as Cole went through a period of ups and downs, but he bounced back. Following the trilogy Loading, Still Loading, and Fully Loaded, he recently released Loading (Deluxe Edition). His latest album contains ten tracks filled with growth, excitement, and appreciation for the support of his listeners during his musical hiatus. As always, he effortlessly experiments with different genres: from Afro to neo-soul, from trap to jazz. Today, Cole is being recognized by his musical heroes (like Mobb Deep), is planning collaborations with Freddie Gibbs, and sees his stats skyrocketing on Spotify and Shazam.
