Living Legends - The Grouch & Eligh - Neglected

Any Day

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.

Pre-Order "Overcast!" Vinyl Now: https://bit.ly/Overcast20

Celebrating the 20 year anniversary of Overcast, the full album is remastered and available on vinyl for the first time!

20 years ago, while building a buzz on the Twin Cities scene playing countless local shows, recording demos and endless freestyle sessions, Atmosphere released a milestone record that set the trajectory for a career that is still evolving and pushing forward to this day.

In the late 90's, for a brand new independent label, pressing a vinyl LP was an expensive venture. At the time, the focus of the young entrepreneurs was set more on expanding the foundation they had built in Minneapolis, so they invested their time and money into networking nationally by doing shows, MC/DJ battles, and sometimes traveling from coast to coast just to give CDs away, all in order to grow the fanbase. As a result of an ambitious plan gone right, Overcast will now, finally, see its way onto vinyl!

For this special 20-year anniversary vinyl edition, all the original recording sessions were transferred from the reel-to-reel tapes and mixed especially for vinyl by Joe Mabbot, long-time engineer for Atmosphere, dating back to God Loves Ugly. The album is pressed on triple white color vinyl and packaged in a custom built case-wrapped and debossed jacket, and includes three previously unreleased songs from the original reel-to-reel tapes!
