Atmosphere’s When Life Gives You Lemons, You Paint That Sh*t Gold debuts at no. 5 on the Billboard 200 album chart and I think that’s really awesome!

Their previous best was no. 66 for You Can’t Imagine How Much Fun We’re Having in 2005.  This is also the highest charting album for Rhymesayers and certainly a high point for alternative hip hop [or however you want to label this beyond emo rap].
