Music Monday [2/14]

Happy Music Monday everyone!

On this particular Music Monday I received some awesome news! Two of my favorite artists are coming to beautiful Burlington Grieves and Atmosphere! Atmosphere should be a familiar name to anyone who likes hip-hop, but Grieves is an artist on the rise.

The song "lockdown" is off his album 88 Keys and Counting. 88 keys was re-released under Rhymesayers Entertainment along with the E.P. The Confessions of Mr. Modest.  When I first heard Grieves and his Dj Budo, I was taken away by their sound and depth of the lyrics. Grieves has since become my one of my all time favorite rappers moving quickly up the ranks of my last.fm page (second only to the great Aesop Rock)

Atmosphere is a Hip-Hop legend and I cannot even begin to describe how excited I am to see him live. Especially with Grieves!!!! Both artists are dropping new projects this year and I cant wait to get my hands on them. There is no doubt that Atmosphere is hip-hop royalty. The song "Freefallin"is off his EP called "To all my Friends."Ant makes the beats and Slug kicks the flows the duo has put out 6 studio albums and 10 EP's. I suggest you give them a listen if you are interested in hip-hop. Here is some Atmosphere to wrap up your music monday. I hope you enjoy and I'll see you next week with some Aesop Rock.
