Pitch Black Prism is the last solo studio album by American hip hop musician Alias. It was released on Anticon in 2014. The album was preceded by the free EP Indiiggo.[4]

Critical reception[]

David Jeffries of AllMusic gave the album 4 stars out of 5, saying: "Wherever this one fits genre-wise, Alias has figured out how to employ the drift, the sway, and the compressed boom of his early work into other styles of music."[1] He added: "With his study of moods running parallel, the results keep getting better."[1] Rebecca M. Williams of Exclaim! gave the album an 8 out of 10, saying: "Fever Dream gave us a glimpse of his experimental potential three years ago, and he has followed further down the path of exploration with Pitch Black Prism."[2]
