Darkside Of The Force

In 1995 Oscar Sepulveda and his brother Salvador Sanchez formed the now legendary hip-hop group Darkside of the Force (DOTF)[2] at the age of 15, and in 1997 they released their self-titled debut album Darkside of the Force, which is now widely considered to be a true and defining norwegian hip-hop classic.[3] The album, with it's obvious qualities, was critically acclaimed, but controversies surrounding a media-created Hip-Hop war[4] and CEO's overshadowed the music and are now almost part of the album's history itself.[5] The group, with new member DJ Breackneck, won the Spellemannsprisen 2006 Award[6] (norwegian Grammy) in the hip-hop category with their second album El Dia De Los Puercos,[7] which was also nominated at the Alarm Awards 2007.[8] The first single off the album, «Indigenous Flow»[9], earned them a nomination for the 2009 NME Awards[10]
