“ We recorded the whole album at Ev’s home studio in Venice Beach, so it has a very organic and consistent sound. We have been friends for a long time and he’s one of my favorite artists and producers, so I always push myself a little harder and come with my A-game when we create together,” commented Madchild. “I’m really energized by the outcome of this album, as I think it’s probably my most mature project to date as far as the music and lyrical content. ‘The Darkest Hour’ is a perfect fit for where I’m at in life right now and the direction that I want go in. I am thankful that my fans and listeners really pay attention to the messages that I put out there and I think this will be a personal favorite for many of them for years to come.”

A Message from Madchild
After a long World wide tour, it is great to be home!! I've been spending time making new friends and getting to know the members of the So Cal Division I am now a member of, as well as getting to know some of the other members and DL's from different cities. What an amazing group of people 🙏✨👌 such a warm and embracing division that have really made me feel welcome!! Not to mention, I am blown away by the talent a lot of our members have from Reno to SLC to So Cal and Nor Cal!! I look forward to getting to know more Warriors and Dimes on a personal level, and checking out more of the talented artists we have!!
