Atmosphere is an American hip-hop duo hailing from Minneapolis, Minnesota, consisting of rapper Slug (Sean Daley) and DJ/producer Ant (Anthony Davis). The duo's inception dates back to 1996, where their creative chemistry sparked a prolific journey of deeply introspective lyrics meshed with soul-infused beats. Atmosphere quickly became a staple of the independent hip-hop scene with their raw, authentic storytelling, and their connection to the everyday struggles and triumphs of their fanbase.

Over the years, Atmosphere has solidified their legacy with a vast discography that speaks to the evolution of their sound and the maturation of their content. Their artistic growth is evident in a variety of releases, from the vulnerability of "God's Bathroom Floor" to the contemplative "Whenever." Their latest work, such as "WORD?" and its accompanying pieces like "WORD? - Side C," showcases the duo's willingness to experiment while remaining true to their roots. Their distinctive blend of gritty beats and emotive narratives has not only endured but continues to resonate with listeners, cementing their status as icons in the indie rap movement.
