Dark Time Sunshine (abbreviated as DTS)[1] is an American hip hop duo, consisting of Seattle rapper Onry Ozzborn and Chicago producer Zavala.[2] The group is signed to Fake Four Inc.[3]

History

Dark Time Sunshine was formed in 2009 when Onry Ozzborn met Zavala through Onry's fellow Oldominion member, Sleep.[4] The group has been described as the combination of Zavala's experimental electronic and soulful production and Onry Ozzborn's insightful storytelling and multi-syllabic and internal rhymes.[5]
