Darek Austin Rhodes: The San Antonio Artist Spreading Love and Truth Through Music
*Victoria-born, San Antonio-raised artist Darek Austin Rhodes is carving his own path in the music industry with a message of peace, resilience, and authenticity. With a unique story and a sound that blends raw emotion with lyrical depth, Rhodes is poised to make waves in 2024.*
From the Streets to the Studio
Growing up without a father figure, Rhodes and his brother turned to rap as both an escape and a creative outlet. "Music kept our minds tight and out of trouble," he shares. What started as a familial bond over rhymes evolved into a mission—to inspire others while staying true to his roots.
What Sets Him Apart?
In an industry often defined by aggression, Rhodes stands out by choosing a different narrative. "I come from where it’s not technically safe, but I chose peace, love, and a message through my music," he explains. His tracks may carry intensity, but they always deliver substance, making his artistry both powerful and purposeful.
Standout Bars & Future Goals
When asked about his favorite lyric, Rhodes delivers a clever double entendre:
“Everything I said was direct (Darek) so you won’t seem (see) to channel me tomorrow.”
His ambitions are just as sharp—he aims to secure a record deal that allows him to support his family while sharing his gift with the world. "I want to give people something they can fall in love with," he says.
What’s Next?
Rhodes is already making moves with his latest single, “Soul Cry,” directed by TeoShotThis—a videographer known for working with heavyweights like Kodak Black and Yungeen Ace. But he’s not stopping there. Two fully recorded albums are on the way this year, with only the finishing touches left before release.
