Since the late 1990s, Minneapolis, Minnesota’s duo Atmosphere has been among the most heralded independent Hip Hop outfits. With the group and some fellow musicians and friends forming Rhymesayers Entertainment, Atmosphere, along with acts such as Eyedea & Abilities and Brother Ali have toured almost incessantly in the 13 years since their debut, Overcast!
On November 16, Atmosphere’s behind-the-scenes life on the road as well as hometown will be captured in Dan Monick’s book, Seven Years With Atmosphere & Rhymesayers. The accomplished photographer has followed emcee Slug and producer Ant for over a decade, capturing the duo with his camera. These never-before-seen photos will be published in the book, with a suggested retail cost of $45 USD.
In true Rhymesayers form, the hardcover edition of book is also available with a label compilation CD and a 10″ vinyl collection of never before heard Atmosphere songs. This collector’s edition is also available on November 16.
In related news, Atmosphere just released a 2EP collection, To All My Friends, Blood Makes The Blade Holy last month.
First!!! i cant wait for this to come out!
Atmosphere has always been grossly overrated by underground Hip-Hop enthusiasts since the 90’s. They’re kinda whack.
Listen pal, you clearly have no fucking clue what your talking about. Your better off just not saying anything ever again
That is about the most retarded thing I’ve seen said on HHDX, and there is A LOT of dumb shit on here!
i disagree to the fullest!
I rest my case. You backpackers jizzed in your pants when they came out because there were no white rappers at the time for you to suck on. These fuckin’ dudes sound like about 800 local rappers that I’ve heard. There is absolutely nothing special about Slug, other than his ability to think up a good concept for a song, but then totally ruin it with his weak ass lyrics and his stupid ass voice and delivery. Listen, it’s not as if I’m some mainstream newjack or somethin’. You don’t wanna verbally spar with me about Hip-Hop or otherwise, ’cause you’ll get lit the fuck up kid. Your boys are whack, and Slug looks like a homo-erotic vampire.
Listen to Atmosphere, ANT’s beats are so fresh and Slugs lyrics are unmatched. Nobody is as dope as ATMOSPHERE! RSE!
