The second single off the album Body Gospel by Darius The Barbarian is called 2 Hot, out on the 5th of July 2024. 2 Hot is a sizzling fusion of Ghetto House and Chicago House, featuring the irresistible, groovy vocals by Darius and its the prelude to the release of the whole LP, Body Gospel, which is a compilation of written nostalgic rap tales that express the power of connection through the mind, body, sex, and ego. Sexual connection, self-admiration, scenic hoe ego checks and its all through the wide-lens. This experience is libido inducing, whilst the project is infused with Electronic ghetto-tech inspired bass lines and textures. Thats what the next record out on Apparel Tronic is about, in the artists own words. 2 Hot is produced and arranged by Moodrich, who spent three weeks with Darius in NYC, working closely together on the record and recording almost every day, with their creativity just flowing around the room. Most of the instrumentals has been made over the past few years and, the producer says, sounded like they were unfinished, but now I know why
. Body Gospel testimonies the love and the artistic bond between the two. Apparel Tronic, which since 2017 established itself as the home for the most audacious sonic experimentalists, is thrilled to host such a groundbreaking record on the label.
