Estimated read time 3 min read

The sold-out crowd had their eyes locked on the stage the entire night, throwing hands into the sky, and rapping along to the words they have made a part of their lives over the past few years. Hip-Hop was born out of dire circumstances, oppression and unrest, and it is good to see that some artists still keep the focus there.

Last Friday night at The Ogden, with help from Carnage The Executioner and I Self Devine, Atmosphere proved yet again that they’re as relevant today as ever, and their live show is still one not to be missed.
