Atmosphere is Inspiration

I love music and how it can change your mood in an instant just by a song.  One of my favorite groups to listen to is the underground hip-hop group, Atmosphere.  When thinking about atmosphere I wonder can two people be considered a musical group?  Is it just one person and a behind the scenes guy?It consists of two amazing individual artists, Slug and DJ Ant (born as Anthony Davis).  Their music has helped me through my worst days and kept me going on my good days.  Ant has the ability to project his mood through his music, bringing more life and meaning to it.   Atmosphere is considered an underground/independent hip hop group from the twin cities, Minnesota. Underground meaning they aren’t signed to a big name record label, like Warner or Sony Music, but instead signed to smaller labels to avoid “selling out”.  
They have been around since 1993 when they began to tour in 97' and hit every town they could. No matter how big or small the crowd. While pushing themselves to the limit, they poured their raw abilities ad hearts out onto the stage.  The people could relate and as the travels continued the fan base steadily grew and the legend was undeniable; a group of friends from the Twin Cities had established a thriving record label and made an impression on the Hip Hop world.  ANT still does 100% of the producing and Slug does all the MCing. There are older tracks where ANT MCs too, so yeah, they’re a group.  Their music and songs have an incredible rhythm and way with words.  In my opinion they are AMAZING.  I am incredibly excited for their show on October 7th, 2010 at the Congress Theatre for their To All My Friends Tour.  They are apart of  rhymesayers entertainment, which is the home of so many more talented independent artists.  It is definitely something worth checking it out.  yayaya!!
