Atmosphere

So, basically for the past 4 years or so, I've been introduced, and listened to Atmosphere. To give some background and to give you some insight and my personal opinion on Atmosphere, I'll tell you a little bit about them or however much I can tell you off the top of my head. So the rappers known as Ant, Slug and Spawn, created Atmosphere about 17 years ago out of Minneapolis, Minessota, and founded Rhymesayers Inc. Over the years this rap/hip-hop group has become one of the most successful and long lasting of its genre. Shortly after one of their earlier albums, "Overcast", Spawn (Derek Turner) left Atmosphere to pursue his own rap style.

 Now-a-days, Slug (Sean Daley) is the MC and Ant (Anthony Davis) backs him up as the producer. Slug or as I, and many other refer to him as "Sluggo", and his rhymes tell stories, and they have an impact on me, the things he raps and rhymes about intrigues me. For every emotion there is a different song, like for instance, if I'm feeling down I'll cope with the song "Yesterday" or if I'm in a really good mood I'll listen to "YGM". For anyone looking for really good hip-hop music or "Rhymesaying" as I like to refer to Atmosphere's own genre, by all means look them up Here. Learn about them, and I'm sure in no time your iTunes will be full of rhymesaying, don't forget to follow the song with a quick http://www.google.com/ (insert song name and lyrics here).

To give my personal opinion Atmosphere would be nothing without Slug, but Slug would be nothing without Ant. Ant saw Slug’s talent back in the day and made him who he is today, the face and the voice of Atmosphere.

    I feel it in my skin, warming up my mind,
    Sometimes you gotta give in to win,
    I love the days when it shines, whoa let it shine"
