Atmosphere, deM atlaS come to Boston: Listen

News · October 7, 2018

Looking for something cool to do with your extra day off this weekend? Or looking for some cool new music? deM atlaS and Atmoshpere have got you covered.

Hip-hop duo Atmosphere just released their 7th studio album today, entitled Mi Vida Local. They are also coming to Boston House of Blues on October 8th!

You can listen to the album here, and check out deM atlaS, the opening act for Monday’s show, here. Tickets are still available and are affordable for that college budget, so end your Columbus Day weekend right by seeing this legendary performance!

Atmosphere, made up of legendary Indie duo Slug and Ant, can make a good song of anything. Their newest release, Mi Vida Local, is perhaps their best album yet, and focuses on the southside of Minneapolis, where Atmosphere is from. Rhymesayers describes the new release as “an album about how the fight to find happiness never really ends,” but “also about discovering that there’s happiness to be found just in fighting.”

Sean “Slug” Daley perhaps describes Atmosphere’s music in the most fitting way: “People are just looking for something they can relate to. Something that they can take and apply to themselves. Some of us are lucky enough to become that through our art.”

deM atlaS, the opening act for Monday’s show, is also a Twin Cities native. His music is “emotionally complex” and has a classic hip-hop feel, but still pushes boundaries. His recent album DWNR features his top hit “All We Got,” an ode to making something of yourself despite conflicted origins.

Both deM atlaS and Atmosphere are Rhymesayers Entertainment artists. Rhymesayers is an independent label that originated in the Twin Cities and strives to empower hip-hop artists. Self-described as the “aftermath” of the hip-hop movement in Minneapolis, Rhymesayers has almost a dozen artists signed.
