Ant is one of the most underrated producers in the game, such a feel good beat.

[@miap2122]

He’s pretty known actually

[@little.heathen]

I think he’s pretty popular but I agree, amazing beats

[@brianlima5866]

Holy shit I just tweeted same today...so great and consistent....underrated as hell💯🫀👊

[@wildgrem]

Love that they just let the beat ride for the length of a verse.

[@sandylotion]

Amazing beats! Hypnotize me like nothing else, omf

[@nyman188891]

"I still kick it with angels, the difference is instead of the bar I'm at my kitchen table", this line is an example for why Atmosphere is one of my top favorite artists.

[@ariongross2154]

I'm going to speak on everyone's behalf. Atmosphere is loved. This is more than just music. These songs are our poetry to life. The beats are the sound of everything around us. Together, its our motivation to keep us going forward. Sean and Ant, props for what you are doing for us.

I see a ton of comments on here about how Slug killed it/didn't do enough. Where is the love for Ant? This beat is amazing, best on the album

[@Antman15201]

*snap* Great point Kev, I was thinking on not that but just how amazing and consistent Ant is. He like Slug is always evolving they're art, most good musicians I enjoy do this. But Ant and Slug in my opinion have never in between to different sounds if you know what I mean. Jus seen em about two weeks ago in pittsburgh and like every album tour they do they translate that ever changing sound beautifly.

[@boteca7]

if Slug isnt in your top MCs, you need to listen to more Atmosphere.

[@ballsonyourmomsface]

I agree. Slug has been a solid staple in my life for over 9 years

[@jhazemusic]

Ashlee Lasher you have great taste in music friend

[@museick706]

+Ashlee Lasher this^^ slug is like my therapist lol, songs to contemplate life, songs for when your happy, songs for when you're depressed, songs when you just wanna bump, songs for when you're in love, or for when your broken etc .. every day for 15 yrs atmosphere has been a part of my life.

[@DrShak2009]

+J Haze He's been my favourite for years, although I think Eyedea and Dessa (if she counts as an MC? I'm not sure how you'd class her...) are starting to really make a mark on me.

[@ElsieMOE100]

I was always like damn 😂

[@Yoyoyok0]

Anybody that doesn't like this because of the "pauses" or the "spacing" needs to stop listening to Slug. Any real Slug fan knows that most of his songs are about the lyrics and his message. His flow was phenomenal not to mention his lyrics.. This is passion, this is real Hip-Hop. Edit: Who am i to say what people need to do/listen to? I just hope most of us can understand & appreciate this song on a higher level. One Love.

[@alecperez420]

Amen dude! 🔥🙌🙏

[@cichyALBUSprod]

+Peter Camacho I agree. He already proved that he had flow on his earlier albums like Overcast!. His newer albums are about the lyrics and the story he tells. If you're listening to rap just for the flow and the beat, or the bass and the movement if you will (:D), you aren't listening to it for the right reasons.

[@ready4pullback]

The whole album is fantastic. This video fits this song so well. So glad to be growing old with Atmosphere blaring from the speakers. The beats from this album are out of this world. So many treasures, relics of previous albums to be found through out.

[@ForeverHues]

what album?

[@mattholmes06]

Jalen Scott the one that dropped yesterday. "southsiders" its alright.

[@ForeverHues]

o thats dope

[@nwisco2]

miss the days of watching free atmos shows in madison wi with eyedea and abilities....headshots. growin old with em indeed...

[@jupedify]

20th of august will be the second atmosphere show ive seen this year alone! This song is EPIC.

[@musicfrendlii96]

People complaining about the flow and pauses but I don't think rap is about fitting as many words as you can into every every measure. I got a really chilled, lax feeling about this one, really effortless stuff. And as a photographer I appreciate the metaphors about stealing the moments. Great shit slug.

[@hctim1]

Foreal ^^

[@revolbeef]

nobody's saying he had to bust some tech n9ne shit, but he couldve flown to the beat much more poetic. But thats just not how atmosphere raps all the time. Not since his first album

[@jeffw9465]

When I first Bought the album I was sceptic about what i heard. But in the full context- music, atmosphere, message, story and such- it really is Atmosphere @ its best.

[@ryzen89]

It's a statement based rhyme, heavy on the metaphors, says em slow so they sink and can be comprehend - most still go over my head lol

[@shanen7847]

My buddy showed this to going to work one night, and told me was sorry we quit talking but the drugs got him and he tried overdosing. We still homies to this day, but he's in Minnesota and I'm in Texas, he's got a family, and now at 31 im battling sobriety worse then ever.

Whos bumpin this now ? Im bumpin it every day !!! People talkin about the beat , what abiut the lyrics.. both combined is a masterpiece for me 👍❤️. Much love to slug and ant.

[@nilsmellenthin]

I'm a bit new to Atmosphere. I didn't know they were releasing a new album when I first started listening to them a couple days ago. Their earlier music is perfect. Such good songs with good topics and themes and just perfect beats to go along with it. I've listened through their whole discography and literally spazzed out when I found out today that they had released a new album. I bought the album immediately on iTunes and I'm so happy I did. It's really, really good. Artists like these two are rare nowadays, and I'm happy I found their music.

[@MikahTheMan]

It blows my mind that Southsiders is already 10 years old. Where the heck did all this time go

I've never seen Atmosphere in concert. I also didn't realize the new album was out yet. I have two tickets to see him on June 8th (my birthday) in Boston. Don't even know who I'm bringing yet but I don't care because I'm so excited. I'll go alone if I have to and it will still be the best birthday gift ever.

[@johnbernard1]

Ill be in boston then and I adore atmosphere bring me ill buy the ticket from you haha

[@cymbolicjedi]

good for you kid been listening to him since hes been out still havnt seen him

[@reeschew69]

I saw him in Portland at a small venue! Best live show I've seen in a very long time! You're lucky, he's a great performer :)

[@PamelaCorston]

You're gonna love their show! I seen them back in 2011, best concert I've ever seen. Have fun!

[@MegaTreeBark]

Surprisingly fantastic live. Awesome relaxed sort of wander between tracks. I saw them alone. I just chilled with this big ass smile and smoked blunts for 2 hours. It was great

[@PuReGh0sT]

Saw him live on the 29th, best show I've ever been to, he signed my Southsiders album and i got a picture with him.

[@ygmflighty]

Ant really shines on this track. He's still got it. I believe Slug does too, but it might not have shown quite as much on this one. Great song though, and a great album. Glad Atmosphere's still keepin' on.

[@ygmflighty]

You know what, nevermind. I've listened more and really pondered the lyrics, and, though it's not like the flow is phenomenal, Slug's lyrics are fucking dope, as always. Keep it up.

[@saragz4sheezy]

Ants' Production is freaking amazing! Never lets me down. Yes that is me with Ant in my pic. That is when I told Ant that His music is like "An island of relief in an ocean of diarrhea." And I mean it. With all the other shit that is out there on the radio, it is so great to hear thoughtful composition. HEY ANT! If you see this I want to hang out at the next Sound Set.

This is just some good old Hip Hop, no sellout lyrics or corporate hype... just a chill track with a personal undertone.

[@KyDaog]

I connect with everything Slug has written on more than a spiritual level, to even call the connection that would be insulting, his music touches my soul, the day i get to meet him, is the day i will cry, i have so much stuff to ask and not enough time to ask it, someday... Come to Michigan man..

+Thijs Kerssies Creating your own path means that you’re not following in the footsteps of anyone. Not replicating any other actions or movements means that you’re more of a individual, more original in your life’s path. By attaching his feet to this path, he’s making sure that he’s following through on the work he’s done to create his own direction in life.

[@AuroraCalifornica]

My new favorite thing on the whole entire internet.

[@melinacrystal]

I just wanted to share my perspective of one of his lyrics and see if anyone else agrees because I keep going back and forth about what I think he means. "If I had a time machine I'd probably use it like a vacuum and try to clean." Some of my friends think he means he would try to clean up his past, but I disagree and think that he means that he wouldn't care to use it to change the past but rather leave the past alone and do something "fatherly" and use it as a "vacuum" to clean up (around the house maybe? lol) . As the rest of this song seems to talk about growth and references to who/how he used to be, I think it's a cute and clever line that shows he's happy with the present and has other priorities and things to take care of.

[@andrewcooper8676]

He means cleaning up the past. Sorry.
