About
A hip-hop trio from Minneapolis, Atmosphere comprise Slug on the mic, Ant on production, and Mr. Dibbs on the wheels. Founders of the Rhymesayers collective and label (which also includes Eyedea & Abilities and Brother Ali, among others), the group has been steadily on the grind since the mid-1990s, playing countless shows for rabid underground heads at events like Scribble Jam and Coachella. Often dubbed "emo-rap" because of Slug's heart-on-his-sleeve lyrical approach, they've been embraced by legions of kids (especially young girls) and critics alike, regularly selling out large venues in both the U.S. and abroad. Their albums include Overcast!, Lucy Ford, God Loves Ugly and Sevens Travels. In 2004, they hit radio and MTV2 paydirt with the single "Trying to Find a Balance."
