Atmosphere let the work of a tattoo artist get some shine in their new music video. The duo's new music video for "The Shit That We've Been Through" is a complete look into what a tattoo artist does with the human skin as their canvas. The visual pairs up well with Slug's tales of the issues in a relationship.

"Stole my crown just to examine the thorns/Scatter them around on the bathroom floor/A little ink with a kiss and a wink/But the bigger the stink, the stiffer the drink/And I think this fight started in a past life/Got you sitting on the dark side of the gas light," Slug raps.

Slug recently spoke to XXL and highlighted "The Shit That We've Been Through" as an example of the evolution in Atmosphere's music. Slug explained how his life experience has changed his writing.

"A song [on Fishing Blues] that sounds like the standard, traditional Atmosphere song is 'The Shit That We’ve Been Through.' But if you take that song and set it from the standard, traditional version of that song, from Lucy Ford, they’re very different," Slug said. "The one on Lucy Ford was a lot of outward arrows, a lot of projecting, or blaming, or looking at the other person as the problem. Any time I was looking at myself as the problem, I was only doing that through the eyes of the person I was perceiving as the problem. Now, obviously, I’m writing from a place where I’ve realized, 'Hey, I’m not the problem, you’re not the problem. This is a problem, maybe, today, or maybe we’re dealing with something.’ It’s just a more informed version."

Atmosphere's Fishing Blues is available now on Rhymesayers Ent. Make sure to check the LP out as it's another great addition to Slug and Ant's already impressive discography.
