ATMOSPHERE
Song: Shoulda Known 
Eleven years after becoming the first hip-hop act to put the Twin Cities on the map, Atmosphere has grown into one of the most accomplished MC/producer duos around. Between Slug and Ant, they've released six albums, 11 Sad Clown tour albums and various side-projects like Felt -- amounting in well over a million units sold. And along the way have performed to sold-out crowds everywhere from modest sized venues in their hometown to colossal festivals in Japan.
Since releasing their 1997 debut, Overcast!, Ant's ASR-born melodic beats and Slug's open book and observational style of rapping continues to evolve into hip-hop that's more honest -- more textured. And the praise for these Rhymesayers pioneers hasn't stopped flowing in.

Angels and Airwaves' 2006 debut We Don't Need to Whisper signaled the beginning of a concept that not only continues, but flourishes with the release of the band's sophomore full-length, I-Empire. That's because the San Diego-based rock group, fronted by Tom DeLonge, has always considered both We Don't Need to Whisper and I-Empire two halves of its double-album concept.

Song: Famous

"Famous" once again displays Puddle Of Mudd's sixth sense for creating anthemic, songs that are at once optimistic and uneasy, uplifting yet contemplative, dramatic but never without humor. Wesley Scantlin's voice retains its serrated charm but is more versatile than ever, able to shift a song's mood with sometimes unexpected inflections.

Song: Superstar

Lupe Fiasco is a rarity in today's record industry - an artist more concerned with creating timeless, not timely, music. Fiasco broke through in early 2006 with "Kick Push," a breezy skateboarder's ballad that only hinted at his lyrical wizardry. Such verbal gifts became crystal clear on his critically lauded, Grammy® nominated debut, Lupe Fiasco's Food & Liquor.
