Atmosphere Releases “Fireflies” With Grieves

Atmosphere is joining the long list of hip-hop artists dropping new music on April 20. But the duo goes in a different direction with their new single "Fireflies," creating something more somber than the typical weed anthem you are getting in bulk today.

The track sees Slug and Ant teaming up with their Rhymesayers label mate Grieves, who lends his talent to the song intended for a lonely spring. Ant crafts a more restrained beat than some of his livelier productions while Slug is as vivid as ever with the rhymes.

"It doesn’t matter who you are/You're just another superstar/Everybody gets to shine at the hotel bar/With the fireflies that fell in the jar/Ain't even trying to get free/Buzzing around is fine with me/That's why I keep one eye on the clock/The other eye on my drink/Make it link like a lock, the timing is key/Got my hands tied up, still climbing this tree/So can’t none judge what my crisis might be/Everything will even out when I finally sleep/Tipsy dreaming about being a pirate at sea," Slug raps.

Atmosphere has been delivering new tracks every month since February, so don't be surprised if the tandem drops an EP in the near future. Slug and Ant also have a few shows lined up over the next couple of months as they are set to play a few festivals. Check out list of Atmosphere's current tour dates below.
