Whether it’s about his alcohol and drug addictions, his struggling love life, or his constant fight to find a reason to keep living Slug takes a step outside the hip hop norm and tells tales that only Ant could throw a beat over. When Life Gives You Lemons, You Paint That Shit Gold is a much need breath of fresh air and I am happy Atmosphere was the group to deliver it. After my first listen I instantly thought this CD sounds like anything else Atmosphere has put out, but the question arises, is that bad thing? Consistency is extremely hard to find in today’s world of one hit wonders and internet superstars, which is why tracks like Shoulda Known and Yesterday get my head boppin and my mind going trying to capture every lyric Slug drops. Based out of Minneapolis, MN Atmosphere has been at constant work since releasing Overcast!, in 1997, and hasn’t stopped in eleven years. Whether this is your first time listening to Atmosphere or your one hundredth you definitely will not be disappointed.
