Atmosphere ??? When Life Gives You Lemons, You Paint That Shit Gold {Rhymesayers}

Atmosphere warms things up on this storyteller???s groove about life???s hard lessons. This Minneapolis hip hop duo (Slug rappin??? & Ant bumpin??? tha beats) dropped this sizzlin??? new album that was hot enough to get Tom Waits to offer his beat box skills!?? Ant seems keeps it simple and alternately sweet & sinister when necessary.?? Strong beats & a live band to back it up with funk, 80???s style synths, some sad country flavor, soft guitar balladry, chirping flute toots, pensive vibes & piano, creepy Spanish style acoustic strums & overall catchy hooks.?? Slug???s smooth confident delivery encompasses his reflections on life???s hard times & tryin??? to turn it around, dealing with personal demons, relationship woes, and alcohol & drug addiction.?? His flow is smart & effortless with refreshing appeal.?? This doesn???t hit you over the head as classic or anything but it is a solid, versatile & pleasing release.?? ALL TRACKS CLEAN
