What clubs across America need is a little Atmosphere. And they'll get it, come September 14, as the emotive hip-hop duo comprised of Slug and Ant takes it to the streets as part of the "Everybody Loves a Clown" tour.

Atmosphere will say rhymes in support of forthcoming Rhymesayers LP When Life Gives You Lemons... (out next spring), as well as yet another installment in the Sad Clown series, the Sad Clown Bad Fall Number 10 EP (available in limited quantities on this tour). They'll be joined by labelmates Grayskul and Mac Lethal for these dates-- which start and end in the Midwest and cover most of the country-- as well as Living Legend Lucky I Am.

Both Grayskul and Mac have hot Rhymesayers albums in queue. The former shares Bloody Radio on September 11, while the latter follows in the illustrious footsteps of Regina Spektor and Maria Taylor, dropping 11:11 on October 9.
