If one were to debate the royalty of underground hip hop, the boys of Atmosphere would most definitely belong in the conversation. The Minnesota boys — Slug and Ant — have been going strong for over 15 years. They continue to dazzle and deliver strong, thoughtful music. Last year’s The Family Sign was criminally overlooked by most, but it continued the duo’s stretch of quality music. “Became” is one of the album’s highlights. And now, it has its very own music video that really defies categorization. Therefore, I recommend just sitting back and letting this one sink in. It’s truly original.
