Album Notes

Identity Crisis is a group out of AZ that has been sharpening their teeth in the hip-hop world for six years. As two classically trained musicians, they bring a new perspective to the table with highly experimental beats and nerve numbing rhymes. Seasoned entertainers, they put on high energy shows that anyone, regardless of music preference, will be able to vibe to.

Sumatyme (John Summers) and CTX (James Calbert) met in school, but were in two different places musically. John was playing jazz and just getting into hip-hop while James was a percussionist and playing in various rock groups. As they continued to grow musically, they found underground hip-hop and surrounded themselves with raw bass thumping beats and MCs with actual vocabulary.

After a few years of refining their own sound, Sumatyme and CTX each released their first recording efforts in the form of solo albums. The two solos were successful locally and inspired the group to focus on their combined efforts.

On September 12th, 2007, Identity Crisis released their long awaited album: "The Life n Times of Darnell Jenkins: as told by Sticky & Dicky" The album release party was successful and the album well received. With sales and buzz continuing to grow, the group is focused on the next step. The duo is now constantly in the lab adding to their catalog. Love it or hate Identity Crisis is going to be a main stay in the hip-hop realm for years to come.

Review from http://www.myspace.com/livingatheist:

Artist: Identity Crisis

Song Title: The Tunnel

MySpace: http://www.myspace.com/sumatymeandctx

Genre: Hip Hop

What I thought: I don't really like this kind music.

But I'm afraid I love this track. Guys that's an achievement in itself! I've listened to it about 5 times now haha.

The rapping is amazing actually. The melody in the background is what caught me. And the acapella bit is so good!

The only downside to the track is that you can hear an interference in the background which suggests to me that it was a home recording. but if it was, it was a bloody good one

Well done guys.

Score: 8/10

In a sentence: This one caught my eye
