History
In 2006, Calm released Anti-Smiles.[1][2] Jordan Selbo of Rap Reviews gave the album 7 out of 10.[3] Tom Murphy of Westword gave it a favorable review, writing: "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."[4] It was named the intellectual hip-hop album of the year by Hip-Hop Linguistics.[5]
In 2008, Calm performed in a hip-hop show along with Reflect June, Tullie, Ancient Mith, and Mr. Dibbs.[6]
Calm's last reported performance was in 2010, introducing a song by Time called "Pink UFO", in support of a Denver ballot initiative to create an Extraterrestrial Affairs Commission.[7][8]
