Darc Mind was an underground hip hop duo from Queens, New York.[1] It consisted of rapper Kev Roc and producer X-Ray Da Mindbenda.[2]
History
[edit source]Darc Mind recorded their debut album Symptomatic of a Greater Ill for Loud Records between 1995 and 1997.[3] The duo released the single "Outside Looking In" in 1996. "Visions of a Blur," a track from the album, appeared on the Soul in the Hole soundtrack in 1997.
