Throughout their 20-year career, Atmosphere has managed to continually tweak and strive to perfect their formula, while neither straying too far off their path, nor resorting to playing it safe. Starting with 1997’s Overcast, the hip hop group’s first official album, and traveling through 18 years of new albums, side projects, and various collaborations, all the way up to their latest, Mi Vida Local album, Atmosphere’s music has evolved in a way that differs from many of their peers and predecessors. Instead of following trends or struggling to fit in—by either over-extending in an effort to stay cool to the younger generation or succumbing to pressure to maintain the same sound from album to album—Atmosphere’s discography has evolves naturally, in their own way.
As Atmosphere steps into their 21st year of making music, band members Slug & Ant show no signs of slowing, compromising, or losing sight of their vision. Their latest album, Mi Vida Local, is intensely focused on the place it was created–the southside of Minneapolis–where Slug and Ant work tirelessly, refining their sound. Their passion and creative spark are as illuminated as ever.
