It's been awhile since we've had an album review on SKoA. Looks like we'll have to change that and get back to business. Especially with all the great releases that we've seen this year and the many more on the way it's only right that we let you know whats on our mind and in our tape deck...excuse me MP3 players, spotify playlists, etc. you get the picture. So lets get right into it, shall we?

It's been a great year for independent hip hop with the release new albums by some of the genre's greatest artists such as El-P, Doomtree, Aesop Rock, Killer Mike, I Self Devine and upcoming albums from P.O.S. and Brother Ali. Enter Dark Time Sunshine to release their latest and dare I say greatest album to date, ANX.  With their new LP, Grayskul wordsmith Onry Ozzborn and beatmaker extraordinaire Zavala return with an evolved, more polished version of their previous LP, Vessel which continues to progress the DTS sound above and beyond the standard. I've been a fan of Onry's work since the release of Grayskul's Rhymesayers debut LP Deadlivers and got my first taste of DTS' work when the track "Primor" from their debut LP Vessel made it's way around the blogosphere. With that album was my first introduction to producer Zavala's bigger than just hip hop beats and DTS' unique mixture of rhymes, melody and amazing musical landscapes which showcased that duo are more than just another hip hop duo.
