Status The Marlboro Man ft. A-F-R-O “ATLAS”

ATLAS is the new single by Emcee/Producer Status The Marlboro Man & A-F-R-O. ATLAS caries vibes of the late 90S/early 2000s conspiracy rap of the time – but with updated themes. Listen as Status and A-F-R-O trade verses about secret American policies, racists politicians, genocidal wars, alien cover-ups, nazi-esque ICE raids, assassinations, and more. The theme and mood is sad and dark, but with an uptempo/head nodding beat.

The track is produced by Status The Marlboro Man on the Akai MPC 2000xl, giving the beat a warm and vintage feel. The name ATLAS has a double meaning: 1) Referring to the World’s as a whole, ie an atlas.. and 2) Referencing the 600 yard long alien craft that passed through or solar system in late 2025. A fitting name for such an important song. The cover art is by Krookid Hooks and is inspired by poster art from 1950s sci-fi movies.
