For The Fan Presents:
Atmosphere “Southsiders” (2014) Review
Slug is back and this time he shakes off the dust that plagued his last release and brings back the incredible rhymes that came through on “When Life Gives You Lemons…” In fact, it was that previous album that garnered so much critical acclaim for Slug. The introspective lyricism, and the forward thinking thought process of an alternative rapper shines through on “Southsiders”. He finds a way to complicate the task through eclectic soundscapes and delivery in what you would expect from Atmosphere. The record starts off with an instant classic, “Camera Thief”, which bridges the gap from “Shoulda Known” and “The Family Sign”.
