Atmosphere - When Life Gives You Lemons... [320/2008]



This is easily one of my favourite hip hop albums ever. The album is produced extremely well, and each song has it's own unique feel to it. This, complemented with Slug's trademark storytelling makes the album an enjoyable and diverse experience. Songs like "Your Glasshouse" and "Shoulda Known" provide a dark, gritty atmosphere; "You" with a very 'poppy' sound that sticks in your head; "Guarantees" and "Me" a more sorrowful presentation, and everything else is in between these extremes. Seriously recommended for hip hop fans.

  1. I'm absolutely not a Hip hop fan(except Dälek) but it's really good! Thanx for the discovery.

  2. No problem! If you enjoy this I can easily recommend Sage Francis as well. Very similar in style, maybe a little more instrument-focused.
