You gots to suffer, sacrifice then resurrect (resurrect) resurrect (assume all links NSFW) So back in 1995-1997, back when there was a West-East coast rivalry in hip-hop and Biggie and Tupac died because gangsta rappers carry guns, while A Tribe Called Quest and their ilk were being called the intelligent alternative, in Queens there was born a duo called Darc Mind. They were, according to critics who came later, timeless and timely, in the mid-aughts. Originally label-mates of Wu-Tang on Loud Records, which promptly fell apart and damned them to obscurity, they later found and were re-released on Anticon in 2006, 2007, and 2013, home of goofy, cerebral alt-rap like Doseone and Daedelus, with whom they have almost nothing and everything and what in common.
They continue to exist as producers of Mindbenda Recordings, but X-Ray (AKA DJ GM Webb D) seems to be more active than Kev Roc, who seems to, other than being X-Ray's brother, have vanished from the scene, and that's a loss, because...damn.

Also I just realized my Lord Have Mercy link leads to Busta Rhymes...he's on Spotify, as is Darc Noise...but here's a link to his rateyourmusic page. Seems there ain't much else out there.

Within the Wu-niverse, I think the closest comparison might be to Killah Priest.

A little bit of Jeru, a little bit of Thawfor, a little bit of Disposable Heroes of HipHoprisy.
