Sorry if someone's already posted about this somewhere.
Just wanted to let people know about the new Atmosphere album and throw some props their way in general as they're an interesting group that have proven to be really successful at a time when hip hop and the music industry in general seem a bit confused.
I've just listened to the new album 'When Life Gives You Lemons You Paint that Shit Gold' and it's really solid material - catchy but tasteful beats and honest lyrics with good rhyme structures and strong song writing throughout.
I know I'm probably preaching to the converted but for anyone not already familiar with Atmos I'd recommend a dig around in their back catalogue if you like thoughtful, sample-based, straight up hip hop. Personally, at a time when a lot of hip hop leaves me feeling pretty numb I find them really refreshing.
Atmosphere are on tour around America and Europe for the next 2-3 months check them out if you get a chance.
Sorry if this has come across like an advert but it's been a while since I've found a hip hop group worth championing - both artistically and from a music business point of view they're well worth checking out. (y)
Oh shit yeah, I also noticed one of the new tracks ('Puppets' I think?) quotes the line 'listen all of ya'll it's a sabotage!' - just to keep this shit vaguelly relevant.
