Editor's Review:

The tracks on Felt aren't necessarily about Christina Ricci, but it's a great front behind which to make a hell of a good rap record. Produced by The Grouch (better known as one half of the duo, Eligh and The Grouch), Felt showcases the talents of both (Living Legends and Def Jux MC) Murs and (Atmosphere frontman) Slug over beats that run the gamut from the steadily merciless electro bounce of songs like "The Two," to the more playful and soulful, sunny and warm tones of tracks like "Hot Bars." Being able to hear Slug and Murs on the same release is a real treat. Murs' seriously skilled, old-school-flavored and smart rhymes blend well with Slug's clever, perceptional lyrics and smug delivery, definitely making Felt a soon-to-be highly sought after classic.

Atmosphere

Bio[+]

Atmosphere — a.k.a. rapper Slug and his DJ-dû-jour, usually Abilities or Mr. Dibbs — holds down hip-hip in the Midwestern mecca of Minneapolis, MN. A member of the Rhymesayers crew (along with Eyedea), this enigmatic romeo of a rapper has found huge success in the underground with releases like Se7ens and the available-on-tour-only Sad Clown Bad Dub series. With the wide release of 2002’s God Loves Ugly it’s just a matter of time before this honest and talented MC breaks out on a large scale.
