I don’t know what to say about Atmosphere’s latest full length album -
except that this is bar none, the best hip hop record to be released in maybe
16 years. It’s not East Coast or West Coast, nor Southern Fried,
yet it has sifted the greatest parts of all of those -
with the addition of a European sentiment plus some Mo Wax flavor.
This record comes out on Tuesday, October 4, 2005 -
and I urge everyone who loves Hip Hop (not Rap) to buy this record quickly.

Lyrically hard and witty – this record uses no stereotypes -
and that starts with the album cover, which looks more
like a punk record than a hip hop. Minneapolis is dropping
some heavy beats and I can’t get enough. >From the opening
anthem of Arrival to the closing track – which is an open letter
to his Little Man – this album has no bad tracks – and the many
styles mentioned above are brilliantly crafted together to form a
benchmark in contemporary music. Every little snippet and sample
is perfectly picked and placed. A mainstay in the underground
for nearly a decade – Atmosphere is poised to breakthrough.

Today, against the Detroit Tigers, the Chicago White Sox
clinched the AL Central.

Everwhere you look outside the footprint of Phoenix there is Desert Wilderness.

Everywhere you look in the footprint of Phoenix there is construction…….Everywhere.

Ben Harper and Jack Johnson enjoy each
other’s company performing “Gone.”

Not only was this trailer packed higher than anything I’ve ever seen,
but the double wide pickup truck pulling it was jammed too.
Creating impractical modern art without even knowing it.

Supporting his new record The Peoples Champ – DJ Paul Wall
was kind enough to let me photograph his grill
during his instore at In The Groove Music & Cuts.
