  • Bio

    .. .................... .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .................................................. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. Calm. is the Radiohead of hip-hop - FILTER .... Calm consists of AwareNess (producer) and Time (rapper). They were proclaimed the future of independent hip-hop in 2007. From the front page of URB’s Next 100 to the charts for MTV2’s On the Rise to playing the Vans Warped Tour, Calm has been on the tongues of critics and fans alike. Their debut album “Anti-Smiles” received international acclaim being deemed the intellectual album of the year in 2007. Calm. has also toured Europe and been compared to the likes of Andre 3000, Aesop Rock and Drake. Get your Calm pill prescription and don’t be afraid to OD on some good rap music. .... "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 .... .. .... ...... .. .. .. .. .. .. .. ..
