Dariel Clark is a hip/hop artist from Virginia Beach. His music blends the surf rock influences of his hometown to create a unique style of guitar driven rap. He dropped his debut, “The In-Between Times EP,” in early 2020. On this episode, we discussed the song “I’m Not Black (Word?)” It’s a tongue-in-cheek exploration about dealing with other people’s expectations of who he should be as a black man. Dariel shares his journey to finally becoming comfortable and confident about who he is. A quick note to the listener, this episode contains offensive and explicit language.
