The Darkside of Humanity Series
The Darkside of Humanity series documents the
evolution of 40-40, the duo of Last Measure & L.E.O.,
from the chemistry of their earliest sessions into a fully
established body of work. The partnership began in 2014, when both
artists discovered an immediate creative connection that developed
into both a musical partnership and a genuine friendship. Their
debut, Darkside of Humanity, established the foundation:
concept-driven, story-heavy hip-hop rooted firmly in the sound and
spirit of the ’90s. Sixteen tracks were ultimately chosen from
roughly two dozen recorded, with production from Silensir, Carnage,
Dee Hammond, Kesti, Hot O’s, CIHY BEATZ and others, along with
appearances from Menace, Q.U.E.S.T. and Wes Studii.
After years of projects built largely around individual producers,
Darkside of Humanity 2 brought 40-40 back to the
multi-producer format of the original album. Rather than treating
it as a conventional sequel, the group expanded it across three
separate chapters—Side A, Side B and Side C—drawing
on producers and collaborators who had become part of their musical
history along the way. Side A represented a full-circle return to
the original formula and was released in memory of their late Killa
Monsoon brother, continuing the group’s practice of using the music
to honor the people who helped shape their journey. Side B pushed
that continuation forward as the duo’s tenth album, while
maintaining the same combination of carefully selected production,
dense writing and the homegrown recording process that had become
part of the 40-40 identity.
Side C serves as the final chapter, closing a
series that spans years of friendship, loss, collaboration and
uncompromising devotion to the kind of hip-hop that originally
inspired both artists. Across all four releases, the production
changes and the cast of collaborators expands, but the core remains
consistent: Last Measure & L.E.O. writing as 40-40, recording
at the Fallout Shelter, building songs around concepts rather than
trends, and making music for listeners who never felt the need to
abandon the era that shaped them. Taken together, the
Darkside of Humanity albums function less like separate
releases and more like one extended story—beginning with two
artists discovering their chemistry and ending with a final chapter
that reflects everything the group became along the way.
