Atmosphere Address Police Brutality w: Politically-Charged %22Pure Evil%22 Video
Next Friday, August 12th, Atmosphere will deliver their ninth studio album Fishing Blues. The album is slated to feature an impressive roster of guest spots including MF DOOM, Kool Keith and fellow Rhymesayers signee, Aesop Rock. Today the Minnesotan duo release their latest visual treatment for the politically-charged single "Pure Evil," where a police officer burns his badge and uniform in the face of countless murders perpetrated by the fraternal order sworn to protect those they slay. You can watch it down below. Pre-orders for Atmosphere's new album are underway via iTunes, but you can get an early listen on Pandora today.
