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 2014’s “Southsiders” 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, Slug & Ant show no signs of slowing, compromising, or losing sight of their vision. Their latest album, “Fishing Blues,” is a collection of songs that both define and redefine the Atmosphere sound. Their passion and creative spark are as illuminate as ever.
