"A fixture for almost a decade in the underground rap scene, Slug's forays into his conflicted psyche have brought greater commercial success with each release. As the latest prepares to launch the first week in October, Atmosphere — after years of touring and new distribution by the Los Angeles punk label Epitaph Records — is poised to find an even larger audience among young fans who seek out music that reflects issues in their own lives."
"Mainstream hip-hop is often criticized for glamorizing violence and wealth and objectifying women. The first two are of little interest to Slug, who's more likely to be sporting a black T-shirt than bling. But when it comes to women, things get a little more complicated. The topic of many of Atmosphere's songs, women to Slug are an alternating source of fascination, confusion, regret and scorn."
