We talk with Daru about how he got the gig with Jack White, his past with Nas, Talib Kweli, Black Milk, church, developing his uniqueness, and so much more. There’s a lot to learn on this one!

That performance on SNL in 2020 had me standing in my living room with my jaw dropped. It was unbelievable and I'm jealous of everyone who got to witness that in person!

Thanks for having Brutha Jones on. I had the great pleasure of being Daru's drum tech on the very amazing recent Raphael Saadiq Revisits Tony Toni Tone Tour, and I got to see his setup first hand. Im big on drummers having their own look and sound, and Daru is the epitomizes that. Continued great health, wealth, and success
