Hungry? Take a trip to Darren Anthony's Restaurant.

Hungry enough for a three-course meal?

Then you are in luck with Darren Anthony's - The Restaurant hosted by Mick Boogie.

This is Anthony's 1st mixtape and he gives you a little bit of everything from appetizing tracks like "The Unemployee", "Waiting on an Interview" and "The Restaurant", where Anthony metaphorically and creatively illustrates his life as an underrated, unsigned artist in the form of a person who is abruptly fired from his job as a baker to going through the whole interview process again and finally, a diner host & chef[You know how they work very hard but with little recognition and pay].

To the main entree with tracks like, "Same Sh*t, Different Day" [my personal favorite]. In this track, Anthony takes you through a day in his life as a under-appreciated worker in a restaurant. He paints a picture on this track of the typical stagnant job, where you do the same thing day-in and day-out with very little change in the day to day actions of the job.

If "Same Sh*t, Different Day" is the red meat then "Fly Motherf*cker" is the shrimp because it is lighter in tone but every bit as catchy. The beat should automatically keep your interests, it is very soulful and smooth. As for Darren's part, his word play is creative & avantgarde, with lines like "Hold the fort, like Knox /because it knocks/and the souls/I let go/they sold like auction block".

For those, who prefer a vegetarian-type of dish, then he gives you a healthier blend of his feelings on "Nowhere Fast", this track is very filling but is more food for thought than the other tracks as he illustrates his life as a rapper going nowhere anytime soon because of the industry's unwillingness to appreciate him as a versatile artist.

And if you have not had enough, Darren definitely serves many fine options for dessert on this mixtape. Tracks like "Cool Crazy Chill", "Space Cadet" and "Get Cha Money Up", take you away from the traditional desserts like pies, cakes, and ice cream. He serves up his own type of dessert that people into more of a backpack rap type of mood should enjoy, definitely good for those who come to the restaurant via skateboard as their choice of transportation.

"Sex in the City" is another option for those of you, who like the more traditional desserts, I would recommend this for you, romantic-types, who like to share your dessert with your significant other. Another soulful and soothing track, Anthony takes you on a verbal love ride to remember.

Anthony, even shows his diversity as a producer and singer, yes, he can harmonize. The man is very talented and worth your listen. If not, I'll buy you a drink at his restaurant.


The whole mixtape is worth a listen from track, 1-16.
