I've listened to quite a few name underground acts for almost a year now, and surely Slug is one of the best MCs to ever hold a mic.
While my buddy claimed that Atmosphere's debut "Overcast!" was their finest, Spawn (Slug's old rhyming partner) just doesn't do that much for me. But here--on an album comprised of two EPs and vinyl singles--it's just Slug with arguably Ant's best beats backing him up.
all that needs to be said is if your starting to loose interest in rap (probably mainstream) just let all that go and go out and buy an atmosphere album.

Apparently, Atmosphere is a big name in underground hip-hop, but I'd never heard of them before (shows how much I know).
I was a bit wary when I saw titles like "Mama Had A Baby And Its Head Popped Off" and "Guns and Cigarettes" (both two of the weaker tracks on the CD, incidentally), but overall I was impressed with this album.
The other half of Atmosphere is Ant, who's responsible for most of the beats.

MC Slug's style lies somewhere between that crew's Del Tha Funkee Homosapien and the immediacy of Rakim, as he alternately delivers rhymes that touch on conventional rap and misfit story-poems.
While Slug's lyrical musings are often the focal point of the tracks, Ant's beats are underrated, and his early work, clearly influenced by Eric B., often shines with playful brilliance.
