The New Album 'Birds That Flew and Ships That Sailed' - Out Now

For over two decades, Atmosphere has maintained a course of rigorous output, releasing over two dozen studio albums, EP’s and collaborative side projects in as many years. In that time, the venerated duo have built a legacy out of bringing honesty, humility and vulnerability to the forefront of their music, continually challenging themselves to evolve without straying too far from their roots. Slug has proven masterful at storytelling and writing compelling narratives, leaving a trail of his own influence while paying homage to the rappers and songwriters that helped shape him. Ant has skillfully molded the soundtracks with inspiration from soul, funk, rock, reggae, and the wizardry of hip-hop’s pioneering DJ’s and producers, creating his own trademark sounds while providing the pulse for songs about life, love, stress and setbacks. At its essence, Atmosphere has been a musical shepherd, and with each new album comes a new journey as they guide generations of listeners through this thing called life.

Brother Ali has no reservations in saying that he’s “trying to be one of the greatest of all time” (on the Molemen track “Life Sentence”). Inspired by golden era legends like KRS-One and Rakim, this undisputed Master of Ceremony began rapping as a means of survival. 

Growing up albino (colorless hair, skin and eyes, poor vision, and extreme sensitivity to the sun) in a world of cruel kids made it strikingly obvious to Ali that he needed a high-powered way to earn some respect and prestige among his peers. As a result, ever since elementary school he hasn’t slowed down with his lyrical grind. In his rare moments of silence these days, if you catch his eyes, you’ll notice that this Minneapolis denizen is rapping in his head. For Ali, hip-hop doesn’t stop when he exits the studio or stage.

Around the turn of the millennium, Rhymesayers Entertainment couldn’t overlook Ali’s talent and drive when he submitted his self-produced demo, Rites of Passage. This rare, cassette-only effort features collections of rhymes, poems, and stories that he wove into his live sets. Its release help make him a welcome member of the RSE family alongside Atmosphere, Musab, and Eyedea and Abilities.


Try to get your head around the term Rhyme. What does it mean exactly? Well, for one, the rhyme is defined by the vowel. You ever wonder why that is? Why not the consonant? Kudos has thought about this a lot. It's a funny feeling when following the inspiration of a rhyme leads you down a rabbit whole of teachings that will eventually be immortalised through recording and then performed in front of thousands.  

How the fuck do you write a bio for yourself? I'm only on the second paragraph and I've already referred to myself in the third person. Where do I go from here? Well, to start with, my name is Kudos, nice to meet you. It's 2019 and i've officially been rapping for 18 years. Ever since I was 12, all I ever wanted was to be an Emcee. As a 12 year old I thought that meant holding a gun and talking with an American accent. Now that i'm about to turn 30 I've come to realise that being an Emcee is just as much about the dialogue you have on the inside as it is about what you project on the outside. 

My music is personal, introspective, a tad humorous and constantly developing. Fans or not, my music is my diary and I'm going to continue creating it until I perish, or perhaps loose interest (Doubtful).  Whoever you are, if you've made it this far, I'd like to thank you for stopping by. As supporters go you're pretty top notch. 

I hope this finds you in good health.

Big love
Kudos
