The first national tour of an international artist for the month of May, the Evidence + Atmosphere tour is looking like a Hip Hop fans wet dream as they make a whistle stop tour of the major capital cities. Forget the sellouts and the hip hop/”house” artist this is 100% indie and is going to be an absolutely awesome experience.
Co-headliner are the duo Atmosphere, from the American State of Minnesota has been on the scene for over 20 years. Often touted as emo rap (which to be perfectly honest I’m not sure is a good thing), Slug’s brutally honest, poetic musings are often extremely personal and socially mindful. His earlier lyrics contained a lot of allegorical themes about women, however by their 2008 release When Life Gives You Lemons, You Paint That Shit Gold he became more of a story teller, speaking on the pitfalls of society. Combine this with the other half of the crew, Ant, and you’ve got something a little different to you run of the mill Hip Hop act.
Grammy winning rapper and producer Michael “Evidence” Perretta is a recent signee to Rhymesayers Entertainment, but has a career that spans over 15 years. 1 third of the crew Dilated Pupils, he’s gone solo and still fills clubs around the world.
