First of all, before I say anything else, I want it to be known that Atmosphere, or rather Slug from atmosphere, is one of the best storytelling rappers of all time. He is the face of Rhymesayers record company, and a veteran in the Indie hip hop game. “when life gives you lemons” is his most definitive album in my opinion. Every joint is another story that and you can tell he speaks from his heart. The emotion he puts in every song is phenomenal and unmatched by anyone else. Enough about slug though, his DJ ,Ant, really puts it down too. With old school scratches and gritty beats, you can really tell Atmosphere is home grown in the Midwest.
The best track in this album, in my humble opinion, is “In her music Box”. In this song he really describes how hard it is trying to be an emcee, while also being a single father and raising his daughter. The first time I heard it, I legit cried. Granted I was nine years old, but still, with the emotion and detail he throws in every song, it is easy to be overwhelmed by him.
I recommend this album to anyone who enjoys real hip hop, or music in general really
