Starting with “The Arrival”, which came after a decade of critical and commercial success. Rather than chilling out and taking it easy like some groups would do, Atmosphere decided to go hard with this track. This track shows Slug at his peak as he runs into a statement about how he’s going to keep going hard like he did on Day One.

Next be sure to check out “Ode to the Modern Man”. This track from Atmosphere’s early day shows a certain amount of sarcasm that rises above an ode. It has a killer beat that will make your head bop and lyrics that stick with you.

Finally, give “The Abusing of the Rib” a listen. This song was released in the years after Overcast! And shows Slug digging into his emotional depths for inspiration. It’s a battle rap with some introspective thoughtfulness. It also features metaphor and abstract imagery to tell a strong story.
