Atmosphere is a band that does a lot of dark, meaningful indie rap. It's a band, but just about all of the music is done by Minneapolis rapper Slug (Sean Daley).

It's not at all like the mainstream new rap that's going around that I don't really like.

Like I said, some of the stuff is pretty dark, but if you're cool with that and you're fine with rap then I highly recommend checking it out.





I'd recommend those two for a start. If you want more, just search them. "Minnesota Nice" and "Yesterday" are pretty damn good too.

Not my type of music, but If you like it, good for you.
Edit: I actually didn't think the second song was that bad, but I didn't like the first one at all, then again I dont like Rap that much at all, so it's unfair for me to judge it, There are SOME songs of every genre (except country and... Dubstep...) that I like, but in general I'd rather not listen to rap.

I don't listen to them, but I know they're great. Top in the underground game.

A related video, a really really nice freestyle session by Slug (Atmosphere) and his pal Eyedea, one of the best freestylers ever, he's from Minny as well. His actual songs are pretty shitty though.
