Emerging British Zambian rapper and singer-songwriter DarkStarGraver‘s debut EP Burning Bridges is an 8-track body of work that explores the rapper’s personal growth as an artist and a man. The EP sees DarkStarGraver bringing producers together from America, Russia, and Germany, including P.SOUL (YBN Cordae, Trippie Redd, XXXTentacion, Joey Bada$$) and Roman RSK (Nasty C, The Underachievers, ELEVEN), to craft a rich global rap sound on the project. DarkStarGraver shared with EARMILK via email that making the EP served as a pivotal moment in his life as he came to the realization that in order for him to move to the next plateau he had to shed all the dead weight around him. In his own words “I had to burn a couple of bridges along the way to find peace within myself.”
