Atmosphere Address Police Brutality in New “Pure Evil” Video: Watch

Back in June, Minneapolis rap duo Atmosphere announced a new album called Fishing Blues, a follow-up to 2014’s Southsiders. It’s out August 12 via Rhymesayers. They’ve now shared a new video for the album cut “Pure Evil,” which addresses police brutality. Watch it below. Directed, written, and edited by Andrew Melby, it follows an officer who strips naked and burns his uniform after a shooting incident. Fishing Blues features guest spots from DOOM, Aesop Rock, Kool Keith, the Grouch, and more. Stream the album in full a week early on Pandora. Atmosphere are currently on a tour that includes dates with Aesop Rock, Pretty Lights, and Brother Ali, among others. Find those dates below.
