“I make you smile for the simple fact im good at it, Ill make you smile just so I can sit and look at it”
Atmosphere is a Minneapolis based hip hop group consisting of Sean Daley (Slug) and Anthony Davis (Ant). The duo has been giving indie rap a new meaning since its formation in 1989.
Minneapolis is known for many things — pretty lakes, the Mall of America, lutefisk. But 17 years ago, hip-hop act Atmosphere transformed the city into something else entirely: a nexus from which underground rap spiraled-out to the masses. And thanks to the duo’s indefatigable touring habits, Top 20-charting albums, and their galvanizing artist-owned label RHYMESAYERS (MF Doom, Aesop Rock), they’re still pushing the boundaries of what indie rap can mean.
Ant started to become interested in DJing at a very young age. He would watch his father DJ in the army while he would picture himself as Grandmaster Flash. Years later he would start to use producing and DJing as much more than a hobby. While producing that album, he met Sean Daley (Slug) and they later worked together. With one exception (Lucy Ford: The Atmosphere EPs), Ant has produced every Atmosphere album in full. He also works with various artists that are a part of Rhymesayers Entertainment (including full production of three BROTHER ALI albums) and many more.
