Black EL & Durkin are trying to inject some color into Boston hip-hop. Their debut project as a MC/producer duo, titled Color Commentary, is an expression of both artists’ eclectic tastes and personal struggles.

Color Commentary drops August 31st. Download it for free @ WhoisBlackEL.com.

EL’s brand of lyricism is reminiscent of Rawkus Records in its hay day combined with the presence and bravado of a new generation of MCs. Durkin’s production fuses clever sample chops, hard edged electronic sounds and trunk-rattling drum breaks to compliment EL’s aggressive style. The EP also features guest appearances from Outasight, Jelani the MC and Jon Hope.
