Yo people, animal here co-producer of the site. I just thought i would shout to everyone in uk that my favourite emcee in the world in coming to UK next month. I think that Slug has the most natural rhyming in the world, and Blueprint is with him and also MR dibbs. Blueprint is another world class emcee. I know they gunna be in london 10th june and brighton 11th june.
check out ATMOSPHERE's music or SLUG's or blueprint's, hes from soul position.

Not sure how known these people are in UK but they are all amazing so if anyone gets the chance go see them play. dibbs one of the most skillful turntablist i ever seen or heard by the way.

just a bit bout slug:
Slug is very down to earth. He is not a bullshit rapper: he doesn’t spit about the drugs he has abused and coming from a broken home even if that may be the case. He spits about life, thoughts that have diffused over his brain, old girlfriends, and anecdotes from when he was a young emcee, a tagger, a breaker, and coincidentally a DJ. Slug's music is not monotonous in any way. He approaches his craft from an introspective level, which would explain his large following. His rhymes are unique

Atmosphere’s music attracts mixed audiences: kids of all ages (even though most their venues are 18+), men, women, black, white, Asian, Latin, Jewish, Christian etc… Why do all these people convene to go see this white boy from farmer country? His deliver and showmanship are spectacular. His DJs produce some of the dopest beats and scratches period. Girls dig him. Guys idolize him. Slug is a prophet to the backpacker crowd. He is the paradigm for most white rappers, reinforcing the idea that a good emcee has dope lyrics, not some fake gangster personality.

anyway read and go to the shows cos they something special.

What kind of hip hop is it?

wicked expressive sincere rhyming always from the heart with slug, blueprint has different but powerful style all of his own, dibs is a turntable wizard goin crazy scratchin. i see the dvd of these people togther on tour and they always having fun.
get som eof their stuff--
atmosphere is slugs group-- www.rhymesayers.com
greenhouse effect is blueprints group he also half of soul position.
dibbs is quite new to me, but what i have seen of him is impressivee.

Unfortunately software purchases have somewhat ground to a halt after a bit of overspending recently but I'll get some when I've got some cash.
Yeah but what sort of sound is it? I'm liking alot of ambienty stuff atm like cLOUDDEAD, Anti Pop, Buck 65's earlier stuff, that kind of thing.
Or is it Pharcyde esque, People Under the Stairs etc?

slug rhymes about life. not like th epharcyde, difficult to explain really. he seems to be able to express himself 100% through ryhming. quite a lot of his stuff is about women, mainly x girlfriends, but he is a man of wisdom in my opinion. with ant from atmosphere his tunes are more thoughful as the beats are different. I saw the dvd of dibbs and slug togther and it was one of the best live shows i had eve seen. they both got lotsof energy and know how to put on a amazing show.

hard to put into specific group of sounds, but the similar music in my collection around the area that i have atmosphere is sole(anticon), blueprint(whos gunna be there as well), sage francis, eyedea, illogic,josh martinez, gruff the druid, mcenroe, john smith. its kinda someway in there. i reckon sage francis the best poet in the world i have heard rhyme, but slug beats him to the top as he constantly exudes his love for hip hop and always rhymes with the utmost sincerity.

hope this helps you alittle
go to one of their shows, you wont be dissapointed.

dibbs by the way loves the crowd, and his hands seem to be magic when over decks. he is a turntable magician.

Nah, can't make any of the shows but I'll deff order some stuff when I get the money.

Btw u should try out clouddead, they're just f'in amazing

its a shame there aint more shows.

i wish I could come, Atmosphere and Slug are geniuses.
