In 2002, Atom joined forces with the hip-hop crew Secta 7. Shortly thereafter, Atom independently released his first full-length LP, Sword of 77 Faces. Atom's intense style and verbal ability quickly gained the attention of hip-hop fans across the globe, establishing a small but growing fanbase. In December 2003, Download.com launched its music site, music.download.com, and in the first week of operation, Atom's track "A.I." (Sword of 77 Faces) received over 6,000 downloads. This made it the second most downloaded track on the entire site. The momentum was building.
After graduating from his university studies in 2004, Atom spent two months backpacking through South America. This trip changed his view on politics, poverty and to life. Upon his return in early 2005, Atom independently released his second LP, The Day the World Changed. That same year he was also voted "Solo Artist of the Year" on mp3unsigned.com, chosen out of twelve thousand other artists and groups. His track "A.I." remains one of the top 10 most downloaded songs on that site. (As of April, 2006.)
Atom has received radio play on numerous radio and internet stations, including KSDB 91.9FM, KDUR 93.9FM, KUCR 88.3FM, WRTE Radio Arte 90.5FM, UK Conspiracy Radio Worldwide and Redlightradio.com. He is working on his third album, Son of Slaves and Lords, which is set to drop in 2008.
Listening to Atom's music, it is hard not to be moved to thinking about matters that really matter. There is no quick fix for the planet but doing nothing is not the answer. We need a revolution for and by the people, not necessarily a bloodbath but a change. Change comes from ideas and Atom lays out quite a few. Now it's up to you to listen.

Apocalypse Thought
Atom Tha Immortal Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To live/
What I poetically deliver/
Leaving your brain waves in mental rivers/
Of Abundance/
Logic encompasses my thought/
Reign supreme/
In philosophical wars fought/
I reach the unsaved/
I preach and teach/
With punchlines, and dope rhymes/
Mental fire starter/
Pouring out lines like Holy Water/
In this rap Crusade you'll be a martyr/
You better try harder/
If you want to touch this/
Cause I rip MCs with power like Caesar Augustus/
I thrust this/
Sword into your chest/
You'll be leaving my sight/
Yeshua now confessed/
As your Savior/
You'll be like Saul turning to Paul/
Either that/
Or you'll get cut in half like Darth Maul/
Verbal fury is my vengeance/
Grab mics and rock them/
Keep mental razor sharp like Occam/
Doing experiments in space/
The only one who's been disqualified/
From running in the Human Race/
Because I frighten with what I'm writing/
Or it can be because I am half-man and half-titan/
Chorus:
-------
Simplicity of my theory/
Revolutionary thought/
I make you brain get hot/
With fire from my ideologies/
And my philosophies/
The MC, who's escaped from the cave of Socrates/
I battle dragons/
And wrestle with fallen angels/
A character in G-d's imagination/
I'm tracing/
My geneology back to Aragon in Spain/
My mic's like a battle axe/
Swinging it bringing pain/
Revealing things/
From an unseen King/
I travel mentally into the realm of G-d/
..Transfiguration into the G-d matrix/
I'd even take mics from the end of Eurythmics/
(Chorus)
I tear mountains/
And I shatter them to pieces/
You spar with my gladiator type thesis/
I never ceases/
To amaze the masses/
I devastate/
Verbal thunderclaps emanate/
Collapse windpipes/
My throat releases hurricanes/
Cause disaster/
Shouldn't have stepped to Mic master/
Physical smasher/
I shatter bodies like they're plaster/
..Falling to the floor/
Chemical war/
Are you prepared?/
The second coming of G-d is soon/
Spit typhoons/
I got more (w)raps than a battle wound/
You're doomed son/
From my lyrical rail gun/
The rap sniper/
Hypnotizing like the Pied Piper/
Hyper viper/
Delighting in mesmerizing/
Exciting, but never biting/
Verbal fighting/
Exercising exorcisms of my lyricism/
In ancient writing/
Prometheus/
Better known as Atom tha Titan/
Chitin/
My exoskeleton surrounds me/
Crown found on mythical ground/
My sound pounds thee/
I reign on Spiritual, Biblical, Lyrical/
Mic terrorist/
I transcend even the Transcendentalists/
The poison kiss/
Spitting venom when I rap/
Enters into your skin/
Neurological attack/
Where's you cream black?/
I react with lyrical facts/
Causing miracles/
Like Rasputin healing hemophiliacs.
