Darq E Freaker and Afrikan Boy

After some time as a cult favourite thanks to diverse DJ play, the reworking of reggae classic "Hard Times" by Afrikan Boy with grime producer Darq E Freaker and country/soul singer Jeb Loy Nichols has a video.

Afrikan Boy, South London rapper and former collaborator with MIA [1], and the rising producer Darq E Freaker [2], heard Nichols's acoustic version of the track and were inspired to turn it into something more sonically hard-hitting.  The single is released on April 30th.
