Minneapolis' veteran duo Atmosphere (aka Slug and Ant, the backpacker's Fresh Prince and Jazzy Jeff) draw a die-hard crowd of indie hip-hop heads obsessed with Slug's caustic intelligence and intensely personal stories. You'd think Slug would be a little tired, having released close to ten albums in the last decade, but Atmosphere's sunny, cigarette-smokin' 2008 full-length, When Life Gives You Lemons You Paint That Shit Gold, proves that the Midwestern maestro can still spit for days with energy and heart to spare.
