Lil Darkie has been played on NTS shows including Bubble Gum Violence, with Drink My Piss You Nasty Slut Yeah Yeah first played on 26 February 2022.

Joshua Hamilton also known as his stage name "Lil Darkie'' is a rapper, producer, and artist from Long Beach, California.

He formally went as "Brahman" with a blue character, as he believed the Indian god Kali Ma was blue, after realizing that Kali Ma is portrayed with black skin, he rebranded as Lil Darkie and changed his sound alongside with the new persona. The Brahman period lasted a significant amount of time and even had a Collective before the Collective he has as Darkie named "Spider Gang", the Brahman collective was named "Native Cruiser Records" or NCR for short, and consisted of early Brahman collaborators and Brahman himself.

Lil Darkie’s music is most noticeable due to his “cartoonish” personality both in his music and on social media. He grew a heavy following online through the app TikTok, with songs such as "Haha" and "Genocide" being very popular.

Darkie himself admits that the songs that got him popular are not songs he would make today and is no longer something that fully defines Lil Darkie as a character. With the album release "The Future Is Dark", Darkie showed his experimental sound alongside common rap niches.

Though Lil Darkie is very misunderstood with his music; especially with Genocide and Holocaust, the messages within his songs are more hidden and complex to the people who want to assume and hate on him for thinking he is racist and wrongfully using the N-word. Even though the use of the N-word is pretty controversial, on the other hand, him being racist or homophobic, etc. isn't the case whereas in multiple songs or occasions in real life, he is open with his sexuality and his opinions on thinking everyone is equal while using the slur due to not thinking one race can claim the word when everyone shouldn't be divided based on preferences and his argument that is promoted is to only spread positivity even with the outrageous titles that people catch their view on. (Feel free to correct it; I know it's not that much of a good explanation.)
