Atmosphere - Which Way Is Up (feat. Aesop Rock) - SBG

Egotripland.com Premiere!

Philly emcee MarQ Spekt and NY producer Blockhead grab Aesop Rock and Open Mike Eagle for an assist on the chill, laid back sounds of "Air Pegasus (Le Cadeau)".  Unfortunately this dope track did not make it in time for the release of their new album JustPlayWitIt, but lucky for you we're liberating it today as a free download.

If you like what you hear, make sure to cop JustPlayWitIt; available now at all digital and physical retailers.

Atmosphere (Slug+Spawn), Beyond, I Self Devine of The Micranots - Revival (1996)

The Headshots "Compensation" Tape (Vol. 3) was the first in the series to include actual songs from the Headshots crew, rather than just live performances like the two previous tapes. "Compensation" featured three 4-Track recordings from ANT's basement studio, a.k.a The Factory, including Beyond's "Cash Is Expensive" and two Atmosphere songs; "Mathematics" and "Vowel Movement". 

We decided to share "Vowel Movement" in connection with our new YouTube video series, "A Moment In Rhymesayers", which is celebrating 20 Years of Rhymesayers history through exclusive interviews and rare footage from those that lived it.
Episode 3 of "A Moment In Rhymesayers" covers the first three Headshots Tapes; Vol. 1: "WBBOY Sessions", Vol. 2: "Arrogance" and Vol. 3: "Compensation". In this episode, ANT, Slug and Siddiq discuss what inspired the idea for the Headshots Tape series, as well as how each of those first three tapes began and developed.

Be sure to subscribe to the series on YouTube. In our next episode, we will focus on Headshots Tape Vol. 4: "History", which was dedicated to Sess (of The Abstract Pack), who passed away in 1996.

HiPNOTT Records was founded in 2009 by hip hop blogger Kevin Nottingham (of KevinNottingham.com) in an effort to release good music by artists that deserve to be heard. This is the first instance of a hip hop blogger branching out to form an independent label.

HiPNOTT Records’ goal is to continuously build their artists’ resumes and consistently develop an image that hip hop will have no choice but to admire. With Kevin Nottingham at the helm, a man who certainly respects the past, present, and future of the genre, it is hard to deny the capability of reaching these goals amongst others.
