Madchild, also known as “The Underground King,’ is a platinum-selling hip-hop artist, lyricist, songwriter, and producer hailing from Canada.

Madchild is back with a vengeance with his new album, The Darkest Hour, produced exclusively by Evidence, and will be released on July 28th, 2017 via Battleaxe Records. The album is a reflection of Madchild’s darkest time in his life; he utilizes his aggressive lyrics as a piercing weapon against the demons he battled.

Madchild’s origin in the hip-hop world began when he paired up with rapper Prevail, and they created the award-winning group Swollen Members, which grew to include DJ and producer, Rob the Viking. Swollen Members and Madchild have collectively racked up well over 100 million views on Youtube and earned both multiple platinum and gold sales certification for their albums. Swollen Members have supplemented their accolades with tours all over the world with acts such as Ghostface of the Wu-Tang Clan, Rihanna, Nelly Furtado, Sum41, and Black Eyed Peas.
