A West coast hip-hop collective based in Berkeley, CA. Anticon counts among its members Buck65, Sole, DoseOne, DJ Mayonnaise, Jel, Alias, and others. Members of Anticon come from such far-flung locales as Nova Scotia, Vancouver, and Northern Minnesota.

The style of Anticon's music is typically characterised by kind of warped, relatively lo-fi production values and totally unconventional lyrics and delivery. Buck65, especially, is the master of low-key nerd rap. Don't let MTV foist off that watered-down N.E.R.D on you.
