Atmosphere is MTV’s “52 Bands/52 Weeks” featured artist for the week of May 5. Atmosphere will receive 11-hours of exposure on MTV through a series of video promotions, a few of which feature a lemonade stand—a play on the group’s newly-released album title. The video clips can also be seen on MTV.com.
Atmosphere formed in Minneapolis, Minnesota in 1993. Members include Slug (Sean Daley), the rhymer, and Ant (Anthony Davis), the producer. The duo has received much critical acclaim throughout the years, with Rolling Stone commenting, “One can feel Atmosphere loosening modern hip-hop from its moorings and yanking it into some weirder and far more interesting place."
Atmosphere’s most recent album, When Life Gives You Lemons, You Paint That Shit Gold, was released on April 22. The album sold 36,000 copies in its first week and landed at number five on the U.S. Billboard 200. Atmosphere is currently on a US tour throughout the end of May, and will play a number of European dates in June.
