Slug of Atmosphere pt. 2 - Hotel Heart to Heart: The Travelers Podcast with Brother Ali

[@sandylotion]

@ 2:29 You said the most important thing that ppl need to embrace, we don't need to agree to get along, different views doesn't make us enemies. I love your music brother, I just wish I found you 20yrs sooner, lol

[@BrotherAli_Travelers]

Much love

The people that do the work, their work is the breeze that comes off the ocean, but they're the ocean. That honestly is just such a beautiful way of putting it I'm genuinely just tearing up hearing it Edit: also this entire comment is completely ignoring just how entirely soothing this mans voice is, I want him to lull my baby to sleep, I want him to talk me to sleep, Ali you genuinely have one of the most comforting, soothing voices I've ever known, also thank you so much for your show in Portland, you killed it!

[@premiersportingkc3443]

I grew up listening to both these guys (I'm 31 now). Fantastic artists and glad to see they're still doing what they love. When my kids are older, I look forward to introducing Slug and Brother Ali to them 😀

[@BrotherAli_Travelers]

That’s a beautiful thing. Thanks

[@aspireakajoshhook]

It’s funny to me that Brother Ali has such a commending vocal presence on stage, but is such a soft spoken man off the mic. I really enjoyed this podcast, will definitely be checking out more.

[@Lovethelastofus]

I’d really like to see a Rhymesayers documentary!!! This was a dope sit down with everything you guys talked about! #legends 🙌🏼

[@BrotherAli_Travelers]

Had a great time in both of these conversations. Thanks so much for listening!

[@brianstalter6569]

I like that example of the breeze coming off the ocean - I had never heard that before but I'm going to remember that for later.

[@BrotherAli_Travelers]

I likely heard one of my teachers say something similar.

[@ECMUnltd]

This second interview was even better than the first! This is why you are both role models to me, which I understand neither of you want but accept. However, your growth is my growth and this is why I chose you both AS my role models. Because I only wanna grow into the person that I am always becoming. Which is something you both constantly represent and teach to me. You amazing dudes keep me on the path by doing your best to stay on the path. Bless and ONE LOVE!! Thank you for all that you do! #LEGENDS

[@BrotherAli_Travelers]

Thanks so much for listening, for sharing and for your good opinion. I loved the first episode of that, and agree that this one is even better. So grateful that Sean showed up as fully as he did.

[@mickag09]

I know Ant himself doesn’t like interviews, but it would be such an amazing addition to this unbelievable conversation. Is there anyway you can make this happen Ali?

Going to try my best to make it happen!

[@BrotherAli_Travelers]

Thanks my friend.

[@eliandabilities]

Since I was a kid I’ve loved Atmosphere and after hearing Mikey and diving into his discography , it all feels sort of like a warm hug . He has a lasting impression on his listeners that not a lot of people can invoke. It is amazing to hear you both speak about him and let alone just speak to each other . I feel like I am sitting in on my two brothers having a conversation at the kitchen table haha . As an only child of 15 years , I feel that it is very important to have role models such as you two . Keep doing what you do Ali , it makes us proud . Much love ❤️

[@Marla-x9e]

My 20 years deep homegirl was always my spiritual person. I identified as an atheist for years and I went to her with my questions on her perspective. Everything from just lady stuff to what have you. I was brought up DEEP south and penacostal. It was not for me. Especially,as a teenage punk rock girl. But, as I have aged and lost people, energy does not disappear. There is a difference between people we idolize and people that were our people in our tribe. They def still laugh when you do stupid shit. I look up and think thank you for making a better human and thank you for being in my life. And thank you ( to my gay boyfriend) putting his sassy hands on his hips and doing the disapproving face. I always feel I have angels and devils on my shoulder for those past. They made me who I am and I am grateful. Thank you for this episode.

[@mickag09]

Brother Ali, These 2 interviews were probably the most comfortable, zen times I had in a long time. Rhymesayers has been a part of my life, like a good friend, for a long time. And I heared things I never knew. Cried, laughed, and enjoyed my self. So thank you. This is some special shit.

[@BrotherAli_Travelers]

This really means a lot to me my friend. Thank you so much. The intention of this podcast is to share the human experience with these incredible people. So happy you’re enjoying it.

[@BrotherAli_Travelers]

[@thedingberry]

In the intro and outro you speak with so much poise. The kind of mindful, reflective speaking that comes from a wise elder. As in music, sometimes you connect with the words and sometimes you connect with the delivery. Just hearing you speak is calming, a tone and vibe so different than what I experience in my daily life. Thanks for that gift, love you Ali.

[@karltalk]

This was one helluva conversation. Thank you for what you do. The first time I saw both of you was at Nalen in Stockholm back in 2011. I remember Slug shaking hands with everyone lining to get in. That really threw me. He's quite intimidating in person, tall man. Shook his hand and blurted out You're My Hero. Ever since I've felt weird about saying that. But you know, I spoke from the heart. So, much love to you, my hero. And Brother Ali, you're dope as hell too. I hope it's okay with you that I've put you in a local novel I'm writing. About guy who finds his way through hiphop. Peace and Love.

[@shawnbreen6419]

Here's the follow up comment from part 1. Thank you so much for putting this out there. Thank you both. I can't express how hard the part about eyedea hit me. I dont wanna pity party, but I'd like to share how rhymesayers got me through one of my hardest struggles. I'd lost everything in a couple months and was homeless. At that time I had burn fetish and by the throat (the song off the same named album) basically on repeat. I felt his struggle and hurt, his depression and despair, and that little bit of hope that lived under even his darkest stuff. As things got a little better I moved on to pressure cracks by grieves, none shall pass by Alsop, and Virgo by atmosphere. When things got a little better than that it was sunny side of hell by grieves, self taught by you, and some music from another artist (intuition and equilibrium, hes great if you haven't heard). I remember knowing things were finally okay when I reconnected with forest Whitaker by you and sunshine by atmosphere. I couldn't ever repay you all for what you gave me through a pair of headphones or my car speakers but I'd like to take a moment to thank you personally for helping me through that. You two chopping it up like this is absolutely incredible and I can't wait to see what it all leads to next. Rhymesayers has a fan for life and believe I purchase every cd and ticket any time your in my area (southern oregon). Thank you brother Ali. Much love to you and yours. Long live rhymersayers.

Heard about Mikey first, then atmosphere. Mikey and slug were judging an emcee battle then performing so went to check it out (sage was there too but I didn't know him yet). Most people left after the battle and my friend and I stayed to see them. I was blown away. I was like, this is the music I would make if I made music. It just connected. Then saw them every time they came through and that's how I first heard you. I guess in the same way Sean had that cassette with Aesop on it. It just created a web that kept expanding like the universe. Just opened up a whole new world of music. Forever grateful for seeing that flyer saying Eyedea and Atmosphere. I still have the flyer and a little piece of paper I asked Mikey to sign. When I asked him to sign it he was laughing and he was like are you serious? I was like yeah man, then he signed it 'eyedea is wack -eyedea' and I still have that too haha. It's been a journey.

Love both these guys. I remember when I was in New York on holiday(from the UK , following January after 9/11) . And some guy was selling ripped hip hop CDs on a side street. I brought a CD off him called rhymesayers for $2. Best hip-hop music I have ever listened too. When I got back to the UK and played it to my friends they also became fan's. Then KZbin introduced me to Brother Ali , eyedea etc. If it wasn't for that guy selling ripped music I wouldn't be here commenting on this video...crazy.

[@DEXATUA]

"never sounds like the record before it!". Atmosphere has a unique gift to be able to grow with there audience, as do you an most Rhymesayers artists, Sage Francis is another. Just that ability and I suppose freedom to age and tell stories that relate to that moment in your life when you're writing it. I don't think perhaps that 'mainstream' artist are able to have that in there music, they seem to either sing to the children or drop off. All the beauty in this whole life was a man who has lived talking to people who have lived, Word! was grown men speaking to adults. Even Sages last record Copper Gone was a record from a man who has been through it. That gift is beautiful. All I hear an read is people saying, that album, what you said there helped me, got me through it, takes me back, etc etc. And they do. That's only possible if you are able to do what Atmosphere has done an what you have done an age naturally with your fans. Getting older i still reflect back on a couple slugs bars quite a bit. "respect the lives an the fashions of the children. it's the only culture I've got, exactly what we've been building!" The older I get the next verse means more and more "all of a sudden I'm in front of some man, he's a youngin but he's got a gun in his hand......" I dunno if maybe I'm crazy but, that entire verse feels like an adult looking back at the self but with the wisdom earned with age. I myself often reflect on who I was an who I am and the conversations I could have with myself given the opportunity. Knowing I could an would carry some of my decisions better later in life. Things that at the time seemed insurmountable, would become stepping stones. I've gone off track I think but eeeh I guess that's what I was talking about to begin with. Lol Peace 🙏

Ali, any chance you could talk about the business sometime with another independent rapper or producer?

I know Russ is a huge rapper, but he is the only person I've ever seen as an independent talk about how much he earns from his catalogue streaming. And I know Griselda makes tons from making Vinyl and Merch collectable and exclusive.
