Minneapolis hip-hop duo Atmosphere will release their next album, *Southsiders*, on May 5, 2014. Their first album since 2011's *The Family Sign*, this eighth studio album was recorded in South Minneapolis and Oakland, in tribute to the birthplaces of Slug and Ant, the two members of the group. As intimate as it is universal, "a sharp look at my life," says Slug, *Southsiders* is further proof of the group's determination to push the boundaries of independent rap. *Southsiders* will be released via the Rhymesayers label, recently voted best independent hip-hop label by *The Guardian*.
