Atmosphere is a hip-hop group from Minneapolis centering around rapper Slug (aka Sean Daley). The son of a black father and a white mother who divorced when he was a teenager, Slug became entranced with hip-hop, graffiti, and breakdancing, and formed the Rhymesayers collective with two high-school friends — Siddiq Ali (Stress) and Derek Turner (Spawn). After some early gigs as Urban Atmosphere, where Slug DJed behind Spawn’s rhyming, the pair hooked up with producer Ant (Anthony Davis), as well as likeminded locals such as MC Musab, Mr. Gene Poole, and the Abstract Pack, forming an underground hip-hop clique dedicated to freestyling, clever and complex lyrics, and anti-gangsta positivity. In 1998, Atmosphere released their debut album, Overcast!, which quickly became regarded as an underground hip-hop classic thanks to Slug’s deeply personal, poetic musings, as well as Ant’s bare-bones — but inventive — production.
The next Atmosphere album was titled Sad Clown Bad Dub II, a 2000 set originally sold while the group was on tour. (Now out of print, it’s a highly sought-after collector’s item.)

no. the production is amazing. i think them playing with a live band has shaped their sound. i love the guitar, piano, backup vocals on lemons.

When Life Gives You Lemons has inexplicably become my favorite Atmosphere album. Should I feel bad?

@NightStar01 - I second that about Tattooed Hands. It's their best song. One of my favourite tracks by any artist. Great narrative, awesome beats, nice flow and rhymes. It's perfect.

Lucy Ford is their best IMO. Saw them in Sydney in about 05 - awesome gig with a live band.

the woman with the tattooed hands should be up in those charts, that's just my opinion though. you guys shouldn't be getting all butt hurt about the chart of the albums. everyone's different. some like shitty music more than others. its life. god loves ugly & you cant imagine how much fun we're having are in my opinion the best. third place going to overcast.
