Atmosphere is an American hip-hop group from Minneapolis, built around rapper Slug and producer Ant. Active since the 1990s, the duo has become one of the defining acts of independent rap through introspective, personal and often melancholic lyrics, backed by warm production blending boom bap, soul and alternative influences. With albums such as God Loves Ugly, Seven’s Travels and You Can’t Imagine How Much Fun We’re Having, Atmosphere has had a lasting impact on the American underground hip-hop scene.
