I may have been sleep on @inglewoodsir but we’re up now! I was scrolling @twitter when I saw artwork of black “King of the Hill” characters. I hit play and the beat caught me in a trance (high hats and that first guitar rift). Then next week the full video dropped and #wow! SiR’s vocals slowly poured into his song John Redcorn. The lyrics are beautiful and it makes you feel empathy for the (anti)protagonist on the track. I then started listening to his music on @spotify and I’m hooked. From Hair Down w/ @kendricklamar , D’Evils (I’ve actually heard before but didn’t know the artist), You Can’t Save Me, and Ohh Nahh Nahh w/ @masego (we’ll discuss him another week 😉). He is a bit of history on SiR for our #MusicCultureMonday Sir Darryl Farris (born November 5, 1986), is an American singer, songwriter and record producer from Inglewood, California. He is signed to @topdawgent Sir Darryl Farris grew up in a musical family with his mother, brothers, and cousin being gospel singers in Inglewood. He earned a degree in recording arts at the Los Angeles Film School and developed his songwriting, arranging, and production skills.
