Since forming in the late 1990s, Atmosphere has released numerous critically acclaimed albums that have solidified their place in hip hop history. Their discography includes iconic tracks such as "Sunshine," "Trying to Find a Balance," and "Yesterday." Each song showcases Slug's lyrical prowess and A.N.T.'s skillful production.
Over the years, Atmosphere has toured extensively, captivating audiences around the world with their energetic live performances. Their stage presence is unmatched as they effortlessly engage with fans, creating an intimate connection that transcends traditional concert experiences.

Initially written and recorded when Atmosphere and fledgling label Rhymesayers Entertainment were still making a name for themselves in the Minneapolis hip-hop scene, “God’s Bathroom Floor” was an early standout for the group. Turning heads and drawing new fans in with Slug’s introspective raps over producer Stress’ hypnotic jazzy beat, the song was performed live frequently, becoming an audience favorite before ever appearing on an actual release. Even then, it was only a live performance they made available, and only on a limited mixtape they released in 1996. It would be another year before the 4-track studio recording would surface on Atmosphere’s Overcast! EP, a collection of focus tracks promoting their debut full-length album, but “God’s Bathroom Floor” never made it onto the album itself and slowly slipped into obscurity from there. 

Now, in celebration of its 25th anniversary, the original recording has been unearthed, remastered, and pressed on this limited edition 7-inch vinyl. Plus, in a nod to the song’s original release as a live version, we’ve included a new live performance of the song, recorded recently in Montreal, mixed and mastered exclusively for this special release. Whether you’re a lifelong fan whose first introduction to the group was through this song, a new fan looking to explore the group’s historical roots further, or somewhere in between, this release will be a welcome addition to your Atmosphere collection.
