Darshan is an American Jewish alternative hip hop group from Brooklyn, New York. Formed in 2008 at the Isabella Freedman Jewish Retreat Center,^[1] the group is primarily comprised of rapper Eden "Eprhyme" Pearlstein and singer/songwriter Rabbi Sam "Shir Yaakov" Feinstein-Feit.

History

The band's debut EP, Lishmah, originally released by Shemspeed Records on December 15, 2009,^[2] was re-released on January 5, 2010.^[3]^[4]

The group's first full-length album, Deeper and Higher, is set to be released on September 29, 2015. It will be produced by Jamie Saft and will feature accompaniment by him, Ben Perowsky, and Basya Shechter of Pharaoh's Daughter.^[5]

Musical style

In addition to hip hop, Darshan's music also contains elements of folk rock and the minor key melodies of traditional Jewish music.^[2]^[3] Ezra Glinter of The Forward notes that "Eprhyme's hard-driving lyrics are tempered and sweetened by Shir Yaakov’s more melody-driven sensibilities."^[3]
