calm. is made up of two people, TIME(rapping) & AwareNess(beats). TIME has already released a solo LP "Litterture" sold and reviewed world wide. AwareNess keeps his production pimp hand strong. In 2002 TIME and AwareNess would join forces and let their powers combine. They've been making music since.
"calm.'s music keeps you entertained with thumping melodic beats that mesmerize while enchanting your imagination with solid lyrics" -The Rappers Review "TIME is the future of hip hop" - Bokson.net
"This music is something else, it's like a plant, it just keeps growing" - San Francisco Guardian
"Calm. is the Radiohead of Hip-Hop"- Coke Machine Glow
"The album is a fucking masterpiece"- Rehab Hymn
"AwareNess' beats recall earlier work by RZA, Pete Rock and Large Pro but he manages to transcend all of them by incorporating his own particular sound, previously undefined"- Rapreviews.com
"Calm. is a bunch of amateurs, they suck"- Mean People
"Time’s personal and heartfelt lyrics accomplish his goal of writing songs “that give people the chills and goose bumps on their necks.” And AwareNess’ eclectically cerebral production lays perhaps the perfect canvas for the words, stories and contemplations presented in the music."- Hiphoplinguistics.com
"Anti-Smiles" could possibly be the intellectual hip-hop album of the year."- Hiphoplinguistics.com
With very quiet samples which often privilege the melody, a flow very clearly, a production without overload, Anti-smiles appear quite simply like one of the best heard albums of hip hop these last months- www.BenzineMag.net (France)
Anti-Smiles boasts a litany of thoughtful literary and cultural allusions, including an especially evocative use of a sample from Thomas Newman's "American Beauty" that serves to dissect and expose the general malaise that has plagued America in recent years. Although Anti-Smiles reflects the dark side of our collective psyche, it's also a statement of hope in the face of fear and self-doubt. - Tom Murphy- The Westword
If there was an award for the "sound hardest to place a finger on", then up-and-coming rapper Time would certainly win it. Time's lyrics are chalked full of Salvador Dali-esque psychedelia and metaphors. -URB
Calm. has written
the perfect prescription for a musical form whose exterior facade is often
slick while being filled with insipid cultural detritus.
His poetically brilliant words incisively point out the core issues
plaguing our culture and the modern psyche over deeply evocative music
that matches its dark subject matter. — Murphy

A lady was picking through the frozen turkeys at the grocery store, but couldn't find one big enough for her family. She asked the stock boy, 'Do these turkeys get any bigger?'
We live, we die and death not ends it Journey we more into the Nightmare
We have assembled inside this ancient and insane theatre To propagate our lust for life and flee the swarming wisdom of the streets The barns are stormed The windows kept and only one of all the rest To dance and save us With the divine mockery of words
Where are the feasts we were promised? Where is the wine? The New Wine (dying on the vine) Resident mockery give us an hour for magic
No more money, no more fancy dress This other Kingdom seems by far the best until its other jaw reveals incest and loose obedience to a vegetable law
I will not go Prefer a Feast of Friends To the Giant family
hey everyone! i am glad to post and say beautiful mess will be priced at $3! so cheap to where everyone can afford it! our main focus is to deliver our music to those that can take and learn from our music. we dont just put together rhyming words we put our life from all ups and downs in a powerful movement known as hip hop for people to listen and understan everyday life as fathers, brothers, children of strong parents, hard workers, and most of all in the life of us men who can actually say we are men! we promise you when you listen to the album you will get to know us and feel like you have been in same situations, and if so listen close for every positive message in that song and build from it all! thanks everyone!
