Location: Max-Brauer-Allee 204, 22769 Hamburg, Germany Aus dem Mittelwesten der USA stammt der HipHop-Act Atmosphere. Wer Goldketten und Gangsta-Style erwartet, wird überrascht sein, denn Atmosphere definieren Rap anders als die meisten ihrer Kollegen. Das Trio setzt auf Conscious HipHop: Rap mit kritischen und introspektiven Texten, die sich sowohl mit ganz persönlichen als auch mit sozialpolitischen Themen beschäftigen. Veröffentlicht haben Atmosphere bereits auf dem Label Epitaph, das gemeinhin für erstklassige Punk-Releases bekannt ist. Atmosphere schließen die Lücke zwischen dem Aufwachsen in der Hardcore-Punk-Szene und der Begeisterung für die HipHop-Kultur. In diesem Jahr hat der Act aus Minneapolis sein neues Album "When Life Gives You Lemons, You Paint That Shit Gold" veröffentlicht und stellt es nun im Rahmen einer Live-Tour auch dem europäischen Publikum vor. Unterstützt werden Atmosphere bei ihrem Gig von Brother Ali als zusätzlichem Rapper. Brother Ali, der schon als 15-Jähriger zum ersten Mal zum Mikro griff, ist nicht nur der beste Freund von Atmosphere-Frontmann Slug, sondern veröffentlicht auch auf dessen Label Rhymesayers Entertainment. Inspirieren lässt sich Brother Ali von Oldschool-Ikonen wie KRS-One und Rakim
