If you have slept on their albums, don’t sleep on their shows. Atmosphere, comprised of dj/producer Ant and emcee Slug, will be going on a huge 62 show tour that spans 72 days. Slug is widely regarded to be the absolute best live performer in hip hop today. He guarantees that no two shows are the same.
