The reminisce over you instrumental
Now, if you’ve been frequenting this site over some time, you may recall that I’ve written about hip-hop act Atmosphere. Personally, I feel a responsibility to shed light on those artists that I think you as a reader would love and would have heard about if mainstream outlets and other sources were much more diverse. But let’s be honest here: those artists receive enough press for their music and exploits and my attention to them doesn’t really matter much. Kanye West is one of the most influential artists and producers of contemporary music, not just hip-hop - and in my mind he’s a lock to the Rock ‘N’ Roll Hall of Fame. Adele has an incredible voice and I would pay to hear her sing the White Pages. Beyonce has an incredible voice - and is one of the world’s most beautiful and desirable women. Jay Z is one of the greatest living emcees in hip-hop and no one can deny that. Let me make it clear, I have nothing wrong with the mainstream or mainstream artists.
Shame on them for not providing listeners and fans with the diversity and meaning that they so desperately seek. It’s wonderful because independent labels often are at the forefront of reintroducing sadly forgotten yet influential artists or sadly forgotten artists, who were ignored because they were decades ahead of their time - and there are a bevy of artists, who are creating some incredible music that mainstream radio and media outlets just wouldn’t pay much attention to. And as a blogger and music critic, the ease that independent artists and labels can distribute and promote their music has been both wonderful and terrifying. If you’ve been following this site at any point during its almost 6 year existence, you would know that I champion an incredibly diverse array of independent artists and labels from all over the world. But more important, it should serve as a powerful reminder that real hip hop - real emcees spitting fire over dope beats is still important and still can be found if you make a true effort to find it.Ģ.29 – Dallas, TX House of Blues – Ticketsģ.02 – El Paso, TX Tricky Falls – TicketsĪtmosphere is also playing the following upcoming festivals and headlining show:ģ.17 – Chandler, AZ Pot of Gold Festival – Ticketsĥ.27 – Monterey, CA Cali Roots Festival – TicketsĦ.04 – San Bernardino, CA Blaze N Glory Festival – Ticketsĩ.02 – Morrison, CO Red Rocks (Headlining) – Tickets
#THE REMINISCE OVER YOU INSTRUMENTAL FULL#
Now, if you’ve been frequenting JOVM for a while, you might recall that I’ve written about Atmosphere a couple of times in the past - in particular about the release of the “ Ear Blaster” video off their long lost Headshots crew compilation and the Pete Rock and CL Smooth “ They Reminisce Over You (T.R.O.Y.)” channeling single “ My Best Half,” written and dedicated to Slug’s wife and to hip-hop in general.Ītmosphere’s latest single “Salma Hayek” channels swaggering boom bap and G funk era hip-hop as tweeter and woofer rattling beats and low end are paired with twisting and turning synths and a dope emcee full of braggadocio spitting dope rhymes with tons of pop culture references and incredibly adept inner and out rhyme schemes - including a reference to Herbie Hancock‘s “ Rockit” among others.

(Remix Instrumental) (4:44)ģ.Initially formed as a trio featuring Slug, Spawn D and Ant under the name of Urban Atmosphere, almost 20 years ago, the Minneapolis, MN-based hip-hop act Atmosphere have a long-held reputation for having an indefatigable commitment to relentless touring and for 8 critically and commercially successful albums that have pushed the boundaries of what indie hip-hop should sound like, released through renowned indie hip-hop label, Rhymesayers Records.

The song contains a sample from "Our Generation" by Ernie Hines.Ģ. Unlike the previous single, " They Reminisce Over You (T.R.O.Y.)", "Straighten It Out" did not chart on the Billboard Hot 100. The song deals with bootleggers and sample clearance opportunists.
