DA-MOVEMENT

DA-MOVEMENT is the authorized guardian of the West Side sound. Executive produced by Pompey "Pay" Hicks III and anchored by Daries "Qraft" Jackson, the collective merges the soulful lineage of classic Chicago architects with the aggressive energy of modern production. The group is currently executing their Audio Resurrection Campaign—a meticulous engineering initiative designed to bring classic Chicago sounds to the absolute bleeding edge of modern audio fidelity. This mission resulted in them officially securing the 2026 InterContinental Music Award (ICMA) for North American Rap for their international anthem, "All Black Everything (Remix)". Their legacy-defining single "24's"—featuring the late Chicago street-soul legend Johnny P and Never of Crucial Conflict—has caused a massive disruption across global charts. Resurrected from a failed hard drive after 16 years and mastered in Dolby Atmos, the track debuted in the Top 100 of the Mediabase Activator Chart and secured the #1 spot on the European Indie Music Network. DA-MOVEMENT is not just making music; they are actively defending and documenting the architectural history of Chicago hip-hop. 📍 Current 2026 Milestones: • WINNER: InterContinental Music Award (North American Rap) • #1 European Indie Music Network • #99 Mediabase Top 40 Activator Chart Debut • Top 5% Global Club Saturation (Digital DJ Pool)
