News from the Rhymesayers camp... While P.O.S is currently sluggin' it out as one of the lone hip hop artists on Warped Tour, both Atmosphere and Eyedea & Abilities have new music and fresh tour dates for the summer. Look out for P.O.S's new video for "Purexed" premiering on MTV2's Unleashed and MTVu on July 13th. Check out the complete list of tour dates below and let either myself or J.R. at Biz3 Publicity if you need music or want to set up interviews.
Atmosphere dropped a surprise Independence Day treat on their fans in the form of a free EP called Leak At Will. The EP coincides with Atmosphere's summer tour plans that include performances at Lollapolooza in Chicago, Outside Lands in San Francisco and a full slate of US Headlining dates highlighted by a show at Red Rocks in Colorado with Aesop Rock & Murs. Here's the message Slug of Atmosphere posted on the band's myspace page announcing the EP:
"Hello party people. As we approach the launch of our new digital online store Anthony and myself have put together another project that we are giving away for free to any of you who sign up for a user account on our online store www.FifthElementOnline.com. The project is a 7 song EP called LEAK AT WILL, and it was a lot of fun to make. Nothing too serious, just smiles and cries. Consider it another "thank you" for all of the support you have offered us over the years. To retrieve it, just follow these simple steps below. And again, thank you very much. have a good summer."

With the release of Eyedea & Abilities new album By The Throat a few short weeks away on July 21st, we bring you the first official single off the record "Burn Fetish". You can check it out on their Facebook or Myspace pages. If you pre-order By The Throat from fifth element you get the FREE D.J. Abilities mix c.d. with it. Link to MP3 Download of new E&A song "This Story" here.
A duo thoroughly steeped in hip-hop accolades, the Minnesota-based duo Eyedea & Abilities have returned with their brand new album By The Throat, out July 21st on Rhymesayers Entertainment. Their first album since the breakout 2004 release E&A, By The Throat’s songs range from intensely personal topics to the more esoteric (quantum mechanics). The end result is leaps and bounds beyond what MC Eyedea is perhaps best known for, his prowess as a battle rapper (winner of HBO’s Blaze Battle, Scribble Jam and several others). DJ Abilities, also a well-known battle vet and contributor to El-P’s now-classic Fantastic Damage, adds heavily to the sonic soundscape of this album, which advances beyond boom-bap hip-hop into rock-fueled guitar riffs, gritty production and melodic songwriting.
