Atmosphere just droppd the video for the new single "Velour" from the forthcoming album "Jestures" (via Rhymesayers). This track represents a lot to me for a few reasons. One, I've been a big fan of Atmosphere for a hot minuto. Reason two, I was the king of velour track suits in high school. Big shout out to Mr. Alan's in Cleveland Heights for keeping the boy funky fresh in my formative years.
When I was in college I was fortunate to be able to see a few Rhymesayers shows at the nearby Washington University in STL. They had a hip-hop club that brought some of the best shows (Brother Ali came a few times and changed my life). But one of the best shows I saw was Atmosphere. I vividly remember seeing Any just roaming the halls looking at posters and genuinely enjoying himself. He stopped to talk to my friend and I and signed something for me. Really kind. Then went in and rocked the shit out of that show.
"GodLovesUgly" was my introduction to the duo and been rocking since. So I was glad when this new video ended up in my inbox. "Velour" follows singer/songwriter Nyssa Rae POV-style on a summer date from a picnic to thrifting and a trip to the pier all with cuts to Slug spitting game as well as splices of he and Ant rocking the piano at the airport. I'll let you enjoy it on your own.
"Jestures" drops Friday September 19th but a few singles are available for consumption now. Tour dates below (really sad to not see Cleveland dates anymore😢)
