I find anticon to be pretty average honestly. Why? is pretty good, but not anything super special in my opinion. (alopecia was among the better 2008 releases). The only Doseone groups im really into are Subtle (namely For Hero: For Fool) and Deep Puddle Dynamics' Tase of Rain...Why Kneel (Slug, dose, among a few others. great stuff). Clouddead is something ive never really been able to get into, but im giving the self-titled another listen as I speak. Hymie's Basement I never heard.
Overall though from what Ive heard I find anticon to be a pretty average independant rap label, eclipsed by similar offerings from Def Jux, Rhymesayers, and Stones Throw.
