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.

Atom Tha Immortal Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Atom'll strike violent/
To leave bystanders to stagger in stages of silence/
.It's the verbal essence of weaponry/
Superior intellectual clarity/
Manifesting my rarity/
I'm like a spacetime singularity/
When I shine/
Of all ethereal portions/
Like Adam pouring/
Out forces that formed heavenlies/
..Mapping Hebrew letters and sounds from their energy/
Chorus
------
Thoughts are sacred like the Hebrew Signs/
"I'm like Einstein, 150 times magnified/
Nikola Tesla, and John Von Neumann/
All wrapped up in the body of one human."/
Thoughts amazing like the Nazca lines/
"I'm like Einstein, 150 times magnified/
Nikola Tesla, and John Von Neumann/
All wrapped up in the body of one human."/
Your normal thought can't even battle me/
I drastically alter anatomy/
Of humanity's previous intellectual thought capacity/
Capturing lyrics/
..a grammatical matador/
My renditions a premonition/
Of violent visions of War/
Warriors of the sword/
Lyrical munitions piercing the core/
Of dragon skin, like the weapon of St. George/
..You want to follow count the cost/
Me and my crew are forced to war daily with soldiers of Satanas/
Bringing truth to your mosque/
Of Yeshua's physical death on a cross/
And resurrection/
..Mic Comprehension/
Is so deep, it'll shatter the thought of the normal thinker/
Move through the valley with songs of the Inca/
..Talk in intervals, spilling my ill thoughts/
...Iller than an animal minus immune response/
Iller than the leprosy cells giving you skin spots/
Iller than the plague that spread during the Renaissance/
(Chorus)
Glory to Yeshua HaMashiach/
The Risen/
Iron and Steel Scepter/
Walking this earth like a leper/
With scars from a Roman regiment/
Whipping with glass, leather, blades, and steel/
Embedded and tethered to sever the flesh/
..But my flesh, buried my body in pleasure/
Till I walked the earth with the animal heart of Nebuchadnezzar/
Animal soul/
Controlling my ethereal goal/
..Making me walk contrary to the Gospel of old/
.The wisdom of G-d's scrolls/
Greater than gold/
And greater than riches foretold/
Through the prophets of G-d's fold/
..Greater than the world your can gain by losing your soul/
Rubies and diamonds cannot compare/
.The true worth of an adam/
Is only fathomed when the design is analyzed/
Refuting of self-organized organic lives/
Spontaneous generation is false/
..So I hit you with a mind/
Deeper than darkest regions of Sheol/
With neural kinetic patterns more energetic than Neo.

The rapper dismisses the intellectual capacity of his opponents by stating that his normal thought is beyond their battles.
