On Wednesday, February 22, hip-hop duo Atmosphere has announced their newest album, So Many Other Realities Exist Simultaneously, set to be released Friday, May 5 via Rhymesayers Entertainment. The duo has released the first single off the upcoming album, “Okay.” Check it out below:
The music video, directed by Marmo Films, features the two members of the group, one delivering the news, and the other going about his day, as the song reiterates that everything will ultimately be okay. In the words of Atmosphere, the new single is “a gentle reminder that you are gonna be okay. I have no idea how you’ll manage, but I fully believe in you.” There are several special guests featured throughout the video as well, such as actress Taryn Manning, rappers Murs and Chino XL and pro wrestler “Platinum” Max Caster.
Member Slug raps over the dynamic productions of other member, Ant, laying the groundwork for an album of fumbling consciousness. The album is inspired by the general malaise of pandemic weary society full of civil unrest. The LP features guest appearances from Sa-Roc, Murkage Dave, Shepard Albertson and Bat Flower. The cover art was created by renowned visual artist Michael Alan Alien.
