The Virginia-based artist explores a wide array of soundscapes that leave most speechless when it comes to placing a label on his music. Atari could fill a room with gamers, head bangers and beat poets and please them all.&nbsp; With Technicolor Crime Scenes, Atari does just that, all the while arfully critiquing our media culture in subtle and not-so subtle ways.&nbsp; While Atari self-produced a large portion of the album he enlisted the talents of <strong>4th Disciple</strong>, <strong>Krohme</strong>, <strong>Nasa</strong>, <strong>IV the Polymath</strong>, <strong>Willie Green</strong> &amp; <strong>Masai Bey</strong> as well.&nbsp; He also collaborated with <strong>Hell-Razah</strong>, <strong>C-Rayz Walz</strong>, <strong>Breez Evahflowin</strong>, Nasa and Masai on the mic.&nbsp; Get the album NOW at all major digital retailers including:</p>
