Minneapolis hip-hop duo Atmosphere (rapper Slug and DJ Ant) crossed over to an indie-rock audience with their 2002 album ‘God Loves Ugly’ but stayed resolutely underground in their approach. While remaining on their own label, (Rhymesayers Entertainment), Atmosphere have pushed through to ever wider audiences and appeared alongside some of the most popular punk rock bands in the U.S. as part of the Warped Tour in 2003.

Hot off the heels of their critically acclaimed 6th official studio album ‘When Life Gives You Lemons’ Slug and Ant put out volume 12 of their popular ‘Sad Clown’ series. Rounding out the seasonal EP’s ‘Sad Clown Bad Spring #12’ marks the transition from winter to summer bringing about change and growth in the form of rebirth.
