Atmosphere News and Free Music

Atmosphere, my college sweethearts, have a tour and new EP about to drop.  Non-fans categorize them as whiny and emo, but to me they were always a nice change from the crack rap and materialism of the majority of hip hop.  Slug could always spit, people just didn't always like what he was spitting about.  Ant's production is usually on point, some of the earlier stuff maybe a little to murky and abstract, but his later tracks have been some nice horn laced soul sample heaterz.  His work on Brother Ali's, "Champion EP" was super solid.  He also had another standout batch of beats on the, "Sad Clown Bad Dub Spring EP." 

 In support of their upcoming, To All My Friends Tour, and to wet your appetite for their next full length LP they are dropping a double EP.  "To All My Friends, Blood Makes The Blade Holy: The Atmosphere EPs," will be available digitally through iTunes and Amazon September 7th (the day before the To All My Friends Tour starts.)   CD copies of The Atmosphere EPs will be sold exclusively on tour and through Fifth Element.

To help build anticipation for the EP, Atmosphere is also releasing "Free Fallin'". The track can be downloaded over at Rhymesayers Radio, or by clicking the link below.
