Atmosphere - Lucy Ford: The Atmosphere EP's

I've had Guns and Cigarettes in my head all morning, and we all know the only way to remedy is to actually listen to the song, right?!
Atmosphere is a local Minneapolis Hip-Hop group that was introduced to me back in '97 by a college buddy who was active in the scene. That Overcast! album was my fist exposure to "underground" music without major radio play and I still listen to it regularly. I haven't followed much of their new work over the past 15 years, though, but I imagine they're still around. I'd definitely recommend a listen for anyone who appreciates the genre but is beyond listening to the standard MTV rapper self-aggrandizement. (money/cars/women/etc.)
