From the heart

Four black teens in Philadelphia with nothing other than weekly tranpasses and opinions. Still, the criticism and general interpretation seem to change from day to day regardless of aforementioned teens consistency.

Whatever. We're not doing anyone some terrible injustice, and we don't claim to be changing the world or enlightening the folk beyond belief or recognition. Credences, food for thought, images, a few laughs here and there, and opinions are all that we can offer you. Whether you choose to accept or decline, you are here, as are we, daily.

To face the rain or sunshine, parade or riot, cookout or Saturday detention..We ride Septa.

When life gives you lemons...

...you paint that shit gold, apparently.

Not a quote that I necessarily agree with, but I do bang with this Atmosphere LP entitled so (When Life Gives You Lemons...You Paint That Shit Gold). The Cd's pretty old now (If you consider material from 2008 to be old) and it's not really a favorite among Atmosphere fans in comparison to their other projects. But, I think this is the type of CD that is made for just certain people to vibe to...and commiserate with.

You got a 37 year-old white rapper, whose testimony's consist of killer Hangovers from the night before that leave shamefully in a stranger's house the morning after taking a shower, having a complex onesided relationship with a waitress from a local diner, drinkin' beer, smokin' cigs, and other common dilemmas of a middle aged, youthful bachelor.




These Guys really know how to throw one together. The compositions are soothing, the messages are clear yet distinctive, and I could almost guarantee any Lowlife would find this CD therapeutic. I betchu!

Honestly, I'm not really fond of his lyrical talent (or lack thereof). But I definitely fucks with the delivery, and every song comes with a catchy flow.
