In a city where dreams gamble with reality, Las Vegas native ThaBloccParty is stacking the odds in his favor. Born Darren Dismuke on June 13, 1987, and raised in the Westside—a place with as much grit as heart—his story reads like a classic tale of redemption.
After serving 12 years behind bars for first-degree kidnapping and robbery, Dismuke walked free on July 17, 2024. His original life sentence was overturned after a hard-fought appeal and a controversial deal reportedly influenced by prison politics. But instead of letting the system define him, he came home swinging.
Making Moves
In less than a year, ThaBloccParty has been on a certified rampage—dropping a mixtape that’s buzzing on streaming platforms, showing up in podcasts and videos, and blessing mics all across Vegas. Whether it’s a street cypher or a packed-out venue, he’s there—loud, live, and unapologetically present.
Now he’s got the whole city watching, and the industry is starting to take notice. One thing’s clear: ThaBloccParty isn’t just making noise—he is the noise.
ThaBloccParty: From Lockdown to the Limelight
Truth Marx: You’ve been through a lot. How did growing up in Las Vegas’ Westside shape who you are today?
ThaBloccParty: The Westside made me. It taught me how to survive, how to hustle, and how to see the real from the fake early. There’s a lot of pain out there, but also a lot of pride. It gave me my voice—and now that I got a platform, I’m speaking for everybody who felt unseen.
What was going through your mind the day you got released after 12 years?
Freedom didn’t even feel real at first. I kept looking over my shoulder, like someone was gonna wake me up from a dream. But once it sunk in, I knew I had to move fast—I owed it to myself, my family, and the younger version of me who thought it might never happen.
Your original sentence was life, then overturned on appeal. What can you share about that legal fight?
But I never gave up. On appeal, we exposed some flaws, and things started shifting. I ended up taking a deal—not because I was guilty, but because too many people were being influenced behind closed doors. People folded over cigarettes and cheese, literally. That’s real prison politics.
What was your first move musically after getting out?
I hit the studio like I never left. I dropped a mixtape on all platforms, no delay. Then I started tapping into interviews, popping up at events, open mics, performances—you name it. I knew I had to flood the streets and the net at the same time.
Keep an eye out—ThaBloccParty isn’t just back. He’s everywhere!
