The Daily Choice: Dark Time Sunshine - Wrong Kids
First off, big thanks to the man, the plan Strath Shepard (he of the amazing blog Pacific Standard) for turning me on to this, something I believe I’d never be invested in ever again - a Northwest hip-hop group. Not turning the hate hose on to the fertile hip-hop scene that grows and grows in Sea-town, no no, I’ve just had a little too close of experience with some of the nastier aspects of the scene, and thus, I called it a day on that scene.
Dark Time Sunshine does it for me. I don’t know if it’s the slight bit of Company Flow I feel twirling in the waters beneath them, or if it’s the fact that this isn’t Kanye or Drake or any of the other shit populating popular modern radio these days. No no, this is dissonant, hard, heavy-lidded hip-hop in a way I haven’t heard for years.
This is some jet black hip-hop, and for some reason it makes me smile.

Hah rad, I emailed a track off this album to Abbey yesterday–I’m loving “Shewolf.” This project is half Onry Ozzborn of Grayskul… I’m definitely feeling it. You heard “Die Already,” the Gigantics album, right?
