I’m sure Shake will enjoy this one. Ill and Block will drop their collaborative effort Capture The Sun on April 16th, and the project’s first single features none other than the Atmosphere spitter.

Any day where I wake up to new Atmosphere or anything Rhymesayers related is a good one in my books. So when I opened up the scattered inbox and saw that the the above artists linked up for an exclusive song in support of their upcoming Welcome To Minnesota Tour? I was stoked, to say the least. Looks like I’ll be MPLS bound in early March.
For the premiere episode of Let’s Get Lyrical, Directer Adam J. Dunn puts some “words” to the bonus track off Atmosphere’s The Family Sign.
This track can be found on the upcoming Flood Watch compilation. But most of us will grab it for the Slug feature, and rightfully so. Props to Zeke for the heads up.

Slug, Ant and company are finishing up their touring of 2012 with one more run through the States. Starting in their backyard of Minneapolis, MN on September 7 and running through the rest of the month. Cities/dates can be found on the flyer above. Tickets for the 2012 Fall Tour go on sale Friday, July 20th.
Incase y’all didn’t know, Nino Bless and Slug have a joint together in the stash (that I need to hear sooner than later… hint hint). And for the second episode of his new radio series, Nino has the Atmosphere front man call in to chop it up. During the interview Slug speaks on the open box that Atmosphere is now placed in, joining Twitter, his love for hip hop and how it’s evolved over the years, being a fan of the likes of Gunplay and Fozzie Bear, the difference of coming up in the game back in the 90′s as compared to today and more.
On the music front, we get new/old music from the likes of Yelawolf, Kanye West, Atmosphere, The LOX, Jay-Z, DMX, Joe Budden, some dub step and more.

Being that I’m a huge Atmosphere fan, it really strikes me that I somehow missed posting (and even watching) the latest video from The Family Sign. Bad Shake… bad bad Shake.
I know when Shake returns from his kidnapping he’s gonna enjoy this one. Atmosphere is embarking on a #WelcomeToMN Tour in February; you can hit the jump for the dates and grab this free song while you’re at it.
The iconic independent rap group Atmosphere releases a new video for their song “The Last To Say” off their latest album, The Family Sign. The video deals with the very serious and all too common subject of domestic violence. Victims of abuse include women, men and children, but all are affected by it’s wrath. Nearly three out of four of Americans personally know someone who has been a victim of domestic violence. On average more than three women and one man are murdered by their intimate partners in this country everyday. A refreshing departure from the typical rap video, “The Last To Say” advocates positive treatment of women and focuses on the struggle many victims face – how to escape the abuse in their home so it doesn’t continue to be passed down.
The coincidence in that is that I just read an article where a Californian woman went all John Wayne Bobbitt on her husband, and is now in jail for it. The fact that insane shit like this still happens in 2011 is pretty disturbing to say the least, and it makes you put a lot of things into perspective. But what do I know, I’m just some guy who had to deal with the shit in my own household growing up who just so happens to have all his genitals intact.
