Atmosphere

Atmosphere's sixth studio album, "When Life Gives You Lemons, You Paint That Shit Gold," debuted at no. 5 on the Billboard Top 200 in April. It has now scanned almost 120,000 units and is the fastest selling Atmosphere record to date. Despite the success of the new album, his show was not one for fair-weather fans of Atmosphere - he didn't even play more than 30 seconds of his new single, "You." This was a performance for the true fans of Atmosphere, who know there's more to him than "Paint that Shit Gold." Slug tore through some of his most loved songs including "Sunshine," "Trying to Find a Balance," "Woman with the Tattooed Hands" and of course, "God Loves Ugly." [a review from LA]

Minneapolis hip hop duo (Slug and Ant) Atmosphere played a show at Music Hall of Williamsburg in Brooklyn last night, Monday October 13th - part of the Paint the Nation tour that also includes openers Abstract Rude and Blueprint. They all do it again tonight at the Fillmore NY @ Irving Plaza in Manhattan. More Brooklyn pics below...
