XLR8R

When Life Gives You Lemons, You Paint That Shit Gold, the sixth studio album from Minneapolis-based Atmosphere, finds the two-man machine of Slug and Ant at the top of their game when it comes to storytelling and songwriting. Already known as an introspective rapper, Slug crafted the rhymes on this new album around fictional narratives whose subjects reach far beyond his own life and experiences, while Ant further pushing his melodic, hook-driven beats. And we've got to give these guys props for one of the best album titles to surface so far this year.
