History
The band's debut EP, Lishmah, originally released by Shemspeed Records on December 15, 2009, was re-released on January 5, 2010. The EP was produced by Shir Yaakov and engineered by Smoke M2D6 of Oldominion.
The group's first full-length album, Deeper and Higher, was released on September 29, 2015. It was produced by Jamie Saft and featured accompaniment by him, Ben Perowsky, and Basya Schechter of Pharaoh's Daughter.
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. Ezra Glinter of The Forward notes that "Eprhyme's hard-driving lyrics are tempered and sweetened by Shir Yaakov’s more melody-driven sensibilities."
