From Americas great white north, the Twin Cities' finest hip hop export will be making a rather sporting go of it on the road this spring. Whats the occasion for a string of live
Atmosphere outings? For one, Slug and Ant will be dropping their brand new recorded effort,
When Life Gives You Lemons, You Paint That Shit Gold (
Rhymesayers Entertainment) on April 22nd. Sounds all good, right? Sort of more like being handed a nice tall glass of lemonade...am I right? And while were asking questions, what color do you suppose we paint that shit? While we ponder such queries, why dont you take a look at what the official press release has to say about the new record.

"
When Life Gives You Lemons, You Paint That Shit Gold, will mark Atmospheres most complete album to date. Recorded in the dead of Winter, and influenced by fatherhood, Slugs storytelling and ants lush melodies have never been more poignant. A limited edition run of
When Life Gives You Lemons, You Paint That Shit Gold will be packaged as a 40 page hard cover black fabric book with gold embossing. In addition to lyrics, credits and an illustrated children's story written by Slug, the deluxe package will include a bonus DVD with over an hour of live footage and extras from the final shows of the
Everybody Loves A Clown tour shot at First Avenue nightclub in Minneapolis, with Dolby 5.1 surround audio."
