In a recent interview promoting his work with Evidence as one half of Step Brothers, Alchemist was asked about a collaborative project with Slug of Atmosphere.
“I think it’s just a matter of which project we drop first,” Alchemist says in the interview, which was published by PrefixMag. “‘Cause we’ve already done a lot of stuff. Slug is a legend. If allowed, the world will hear it. You gotta ask Slug. You know what? You gotta ask Ant [Atmosphere’s producer] ’cause Ant has everything in the hard drive. If you know him, he gives out information easily.”
In July 2013, Atmosphere’s Slug spoke about wanting to work with Alchemist during a HipHopSite interview.
“Alchemist is too fuckin’ hot right now,” Slug said at the time. “He wouldn’t fuck with us. He’s like on top of the world. You hear me, Alc? I know that you’re too hot for us. That’s cool. We’ll wait until people don’t like you again, and then we’ll make a record with you. For cheap.”
Slug continued to speak about Alchemist later in the interview.
“I didn’t mean to say there was a time when people didn’t like you, Alc,” Slug said. “I apologize. That came out wrong. What I meant to say is, when I’m rich, we’re gonna make a project. And we’re gonna call it Lake Minnetonka…Just me and Alc. It’s gonna be called The Purified Waters of Lake Minnetonka. It’s gonna be on purple vinyl and purple MP3s. Run with that shit. Put that shit on Wiki. Tweet Alc, and tell him that we’re making a record.”
Alchemist and Evidence are currently promoting Step Brothers’ Lord Steppington, an album slated to be released January 21 via Rhymesayers Entertainment, which happens to also be the longtime home of Atmosphere, a duo that consists of Slug and Ant. Evidence and Alchemist have worked together since high school, but Lord Steppington is the duo’s first official full-length album.

Hes probably just trolling to piss off people. I mean his name is Lord Jamar whos also a racist piece of shit trying to get in the news. Basketball and any other sports was always a white mans game too. The blacks were better at basketball and they dominate it now, well eminem is better than your black artists so hes dominating it now. I am sure your extreme religious too, they always have the most hate in them than any other people. i went to a private school i know this first hand. fuck racists
No such thing as racism against whites.
Uh, yeah, well, I’m pretty sure there is pal
amazing news. I don’t feel like a full length atmosphere record’s gonna come out this year, so hopefully an atmos EP or an alc-slug project!
IF THIS IS TRUE – OH MAN! AWESOME NEWS!

Atmosphere = music for spoiled white college kids. Nothing but a hipster whining about his life.
that alan daniel kid is a joke
Atmosphere lead me to Brother Ali, Aesop Rock, and 88 Keys. Which then led me to re-discover Clear Soul Forces
@ Lord Jamal, if I’m correct, I believe slugs father was black. I’m sure I don’t have to tell you that racist comments only perpetuate more racism. Shouldn’t our goal, as human beings all living together on one earth, be to end this exact kind of attitude?
No, white people should only be able to do white things
WTF?! Atmosphere IS SLUG!!! Maybe i’m wrong but I thought that Atmopshere goes by slug sometimes. The people publishing this article need to do a little research for real
LMAO, dude Atmosphere(Group) is Slug(Rapper) + Ant(Producer)
Sorry bud it looks like you’re the one that needs to do some research
atmosphere is the collective group made up of rapper Slug and producer Ant.
