Former NFL star and musician Darren Waller has released his latest 4-song EP, Internal Warfare: This Too Shall Pass - Stream Here. The project reflects Waller’s journey through a year of significant personal transformation, offering an emotional and reflective look at its highs and lows. The EP features production from PALE1080, KXVI and sadcg. 

“The title of this project accurately depicts what 2024 has been like for me,” describes Waller. Lots of change has brought about all kinds of thoughts, emotions, and mood swings that have been overwhelming at times. At the same time, those have made room for greater clarity, allowing me to see all the good in my life and to know I’m right where I’m supposed to be. The inner tribulations of this past year provided the friction I needed to sharpen my sword when it comes to my craft and my relationship with myself, and I’m excited to share these songs with the world.”

The current single “Internal Warfare” highlights the duality of Waller’s personality. “When I first heard the beat, I knew that I wanted to do something that shed light on the different versions of myself that often clash internally: one that is reflective, thoughtful, and introspective and the other one that is competitive, aggressive, and has something to prove,” explains Waller. “The beat switches provide space for me to flow in and out of both energies, ultimately ending with the more introspective side having the last say. As I learn to find balance within myself, I’m realizing that neither side is good or bad; they are a part of who I am and I accept them both.”

Additionally, a new music video for the EP track “This Too Shall Pass,” is available HERE. Directed by ARod2Up, the video features Waller performing uplifting lyrics at a Philadelphia church, offering inspiration to those facing their own challenges. This song holds deep meaning for Waller, as it reflects his personal journey through addiction and mental health struggles.

Waller’s previous EP release, On Notice: Bag Talk, features 4 songs that highlight his lyrical versatility. The songs explore themes, such as his intense competitive spirit in “Bag Talk,” moments of self-reflection in “Day In The Life,” sources of motivation in “On Notice,” and his strong faith in “Summer On Fremont.” 

This marks Darren Waller’s third EP release this year, showcasing his commitment to his music career. Each project showcases his growth as an artist, blending personal themes with raw authenticity.

About:

Darren Waller, a former NFL star and Pro Bowl selection, is also a passionate musician. Originally from Landover, MD, and raised in Atlanta, he now resides in Las Vegas. Inspired by his great-grandfather, the iconic jazz pianist Fats Waller, Darren began exploring music in 2015, the same year he was drafted into the NFL. While music initially took a back seat to football, Darren made his musical debut in 2021 with the project Delusions of Clarity. Following that release, he was featured on the official Madden NFL soundtrack in 2023, distributed by Interscope Records.

In 2024, the year of his highly-publicized retirement from the NFL, Darren released the viral single “Who Knew (Her Perspective),” the acclaimed track “Faith Test,” and his farewell to football, “Choose Wisely (Farewell).” Over summer, he followed up with the two-song EP Mind Games: It’s All In Your Head and his latest four-song EP On Notice: Bag Talk.

Influenced by artists like Jay-Z and Coldplay, Darren’s music reflects his personal journey, relentless competitive drive, self-reflection, and the strength of his faith. His primary goal is to motivate and provide listeners with the confidence to navigate everyday life and its challenges, drawing from his own experiences of facing and overcoming numerous obstacles. Waller’s journey to sobriety has been a significant part of his story, and through his music and the Darren Waller Foundation, he aims to inspire and support those affected by addiction.
