“Seven Years With Atmosphere & Rhymesayers” Book Cover
UGHH got the drop on the first look at photographer Dan Monick’s Seven Years With Atmosphere & Rhymesayers photo book, which ships November 16th. There will be two editions – regular and a signed and numbered limited to 1500 copies package including an RSE compilation CD and Atmosphere 10″ vinyl which is set to include “never heard before tracks”. The description for the item is as follows:
The Minneapolis-based record label Rhymesayers and its groundbreaking group Atmosphere have become one of the most powerful forces in independent hip hop today.
Photographer Dan Monick has traveled with the musicians and rappers from Rhymesayers and Atmosphere on and off for the better part of a decade. He’s documented a wide swath of territory from the fans to the shows and illuminated behind-the-scenes photos of the artists being themselves. Monick likens the Rhymesayers work ethic to the DIY punk rock approach that he experienced playing in bands.
Atmosphere leader, Sean (Slug) is a charismatic driving force behind the Rhymesayers and features prominently in the story of the label and within the pages of the book.
Rhymesayer fans from Japan to Australia, Europe and all of North America who have witnessed the energy in concert will enjoy feasting on the pages, and those who have never been will be brought up to speed.

Edan – “Echo Party: The Movie” DVD Coming
Edan just held a screening for the film tonight in Boston, which drops November 9th.
Produced/directed by Tom Fitzgerald, Cut Chemist’s go-to video man who works also for Cinefamily in L.A., Edan’s Echo Party Movie is a fast-paced, retro onglomeration of unrelated and interesting video clips from the 60′s, 70′s and 80′s that prove to be like a Sour Patch Kid for the eye. Cut in perfect harmony with Edan’s music, the movie is an ideal synch for Echo Party’s multi-elemental vibe where, using Traffic’s extensive back catalogue of old school hip-hop, Edan mixes, reworks, and adds layers of his own instrumentation to create an eclectic blend of psychedlia and beats. The movie cuts in and out of old Indian/Bollywood films, spray painting graffiti artists, children operating computers, vintage ads, risque cartoons, and everything in between. Like the LP, each DVD cover is hand-stamped by the artist himself in one of five unique designs adding further to the artistic flair that could only be Edan’s.
Available via Access Hip-Hop.

The Legendary HipHopSite.Com Bathroom (Pic)
Where press photos went to die. What you see above here is a rare image of the legendary HipHopSite.Com bathroom, which was connected to the mailroom at the old retail homebase at 4700 S. Maryland Pkwy in Las Vegas. Some highlights:
1) Completely defaced Benzino press picture, which included rosey red cheeks, a swastika on his forehead, a devil’s goatee, dainty eyelashes, and numerous cuss words written all over the photo. And of course, “sucks!” after his name.
2) DMX photo with snoopy ears and hound’s nose added with black Sharpie marker. Noises of “woof”, “arf”, “grrrrr”, and “bow wow wow” as well.
3) Numerous pictures of mailroom superstar / celebrity deejay, Five, as he was making a name for himself around town.
4) An 12″ single of unknown origin called “It Stinks In Here” tacked right above the toilet.
5) A photo of Kool Keith as Black Elvis, with some of his best lyrics written around it.
Not pictured:
1) Defaced life-size Method Man cardboard cutout with clown nose drawn on.
2) Various magazine ads for Sandbox Automatic. (Does anyone have scans of these?)
3) Mop bucket with “M.O.P.” sticker affixed to it.

With Bun B’s Trill O.G. dropping this week, we thought we’d take a look back at this promo item from 2007′s Underground Kingz LP. Sure, you might have candy paint, cream on the inside, and wood grain wheels, but that doesn’t mean shit without the official UGK car freshener. We are sure that Pimp C had one of these inside his ride ’til he died.
