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 ↴
Upon the Continent
My verbal venom's volatile when I spit
Causing abrasion
From bio-chemical equations
Turn black skin like Michael Jackson, Caucausian
Melting the flesh deep within
33 levels of Melanin couldn't counter enzymes I'm developing
I absorb your energy, to hit you with a harder attack
You retarded cats
About to burn like Cherynobyl
When G-d proves the Case for Christ like Lee Strobel
Throwing the world in turmoil
Protects oil and wine (Rev. 6:6) while mankind is covered in boils (Rev.16:2)
Apocalyptic vision permeates my thought
Not the ramblings of mystics, but Metaphysics from G-d
godly men were given visions inside of the synagogue
Understanding
Signs, seasons and times
Of the return of Christ
Coming like a thief in the night (Matt. 24:43-44)
Standing at the door (Rev. 3:20)
Waiting for the World War IV (Rev. 19:19)
So he can give the blessings promised to the meek and the poor (Matt. 5:3,5)
Jesus is Lord
Ruling with the Scepter and Sword (Rev. 19:15)
Entropy increasing like distance between the stars
Information encoded in 16 bars
Kill a rhyme, thick and sick like early SARS
We can never be what you believe
We're who we are
Sooner or later you'll find
We're nearly out of time
So I rhyme, hit with an unforgettable flow
I'm like the roles of Russell Crowe, combined hater
A beautiful mind in the body of Gladiator
Analyze data
With a mind searching the furthest reaches of space an time
Bodys in it's physical prime
Einstein's lines of science couldn't define my energy
I stand in defiance to Entropy
Moving faster than a light wave
My mic cage
Scars your chest-plate like the mark of a slave
Spiritually aligned with the only Truth defined (John 14:6)
The Unmoved Mover moving in with all mankind (John 1:1)
Lion of Judah (Rev. 5:5)
The Word became flesh (John 1:14)
Born in Israel, dwelling in a physical tent (2 Cor. 5:1)
With the intent to Resurrect
Jesus Christ was crucified
Died a man's death, and resurrected alive
Entropy increasing like distance between the stars
Information encoded in 16 bars
Kill a rhyme, thick and sick like early SARS
We can never be what you believe
We're who we are
This is the last night you'll ever see the light again
Artificial Intelligence encoding lyrics with a binary pen
A panic attack
Pandemonium in the streets
Set your terror alerts red high, when I speak
Cryptanalysts' analysis of my writtens
Finding hidden meanings and messages, compressed in my sentences
My thought's beyond comprehension
Fold my verses into a cube, new lyrics form in three-dimensions
Multiple levels of destruction
When I slay
With my eruption
Like Mount Vesuvius on Pompeii
You'll call me "Y2k" when I start dropping this
Cause you'll have no idea what day it is when you regain consciousness.
In "Rhyme," Atom Tha Immortal draws on various themes including war, spirituality and science, as he fluidly and powerfully delivers his lyrics. He opens his verse stating that he is like the armies of Alexander who conquered the continent, indicating that he is a formidable force to be reckoned with. He goes on to assert his presence as a skilled lyricist, likening his verbal assault to a potent venom and references his ability to transform and change things at the molecular level. He explains that his words are so powerful that they can even alter skin color, melting flesh to the very core. With the use of biblical references, Atom Tha Immortal speaks on the apocalyptic vision and the return of Christ.
The second verse of the song is equally forceful, as he compares his energy to the laws of physics and science. He makes the assertion that he is beyond comprehension and that even Einstein could not define his energy. He emphasizes that he is a force to be reckoned with, and that he moves faster than the speed of light. He also speaks on the power to resurrect and brings our attention to the biblical reference of Jesus Christ's resurrection after his crucifixion. Lastly, he warns about the imminent threat of a catastrophic event through the use of the Y2k reference.
Line by Line Meaning
I'm like the armies of Alexander
Upon the Continent
My verbal venom's volatile when I spit
Causing abrasion
I am as powerful as Alexander's armies that conquered continents, and when I rap, my words hurt like venom and cause damage.
From bio-chemical equations
Turn black skin like Michael Jackson, Caucausian
Melting the flesh deep within
33 levels of Melanin couldn't counter enzymes I'm developing
My rap is so fierce that even bio-chemical reactions can't counter it. It's so strong that it can even transform dark skin pigment like Michael Jackson's skin, and melt it from within.
I let you hit, so I can hit back
I absorb your energy, to hit you with a harder attack
You retarded cats
I let others speak their words before I come back with a stronger attack using their energy against them. I'm not talking to smart cats, but rather, unintelligent ones.
About to burn like Cherynobyl
When G-d proves the Case for Christ like Lee Strobel
Throwing the world in turmoil
Protects oil and wine (Rev. 6:6) while mankind is covered in boils (Rev.16:2)
When God proves the case for Christ, it will throw the world into chaos, just like the nuclear disaster at Chernobyl. In the midst of chaos, oil and wine are protected, while humanity suffers from boils and diseases.
Apocalyptic vision permeates my thought
Not the ramblings of mystics, but Metaphysics from G-d
godly men were given visions inside of the synagogue
Understanding
I constantly think about the apocalypse, and I believe that this vision isn't just a result of mystical imagination, but rather, it's metaphysical and from God. In the past, godly men were given visions of what's coming and I understand that.
Signs, seasons and times
Of the return of Christ
Coming like a thief in the night (Matt. 24:43-44)
Standing at the door (Rev. 3:20)
Waiting for the World War IV (Rev. 19:19)
There are signs in the seasons and times that indicate the return of Christ, who will come when we least expect him. He's already standing at the door waiting for World War IV so he can bring blessings to the meek and poor.
Jesus is Lord
Ruling with the Scepter and Sword (Rev. 19:15)
Entropy increasing like distance between the stars
Information encoded in 16 bars
I believe that Jesus is the ruler with the power to control everything, and he'll govern with the scepter and sword. I understand that entropy is increasing and everything breaks down over time. My knowledge and power are wrapped up in these 16 bars.
Kill a rhyme, thick and sick like early SARS
We can never be what you believe
We're who we are
My rap is so strong that it can kill another rhyme and is as contagious and deadly as the early stages of SARS. I can never become what others believe I should be, I'm who I am.
Sooner or later you'll find
We're nearly out of time
So I rhyme, hit with an unforgettable flow
I'm like the roles of Russell Crowe, combined hater
Time is running out for us and soon it'll be too late. I rap with an unforgettable quality and intensity, much like Russell Crowe's roles combined. My words are directed at those who hate.
A beautiful mind in the body of Gladiator
Analyze data
With a mind searching the furthest reaches of space an time
Bodys in it's physical prime
I have a beautiful mind, and my physical body is as strong as a gladiator. I can analyze data while my mind searches the furthest reaches of space and time.
Einstein's lines of science couldn't define my energy
I stand in defiance to Entropy
Moving faster than a light wave
My mic cage
Scars your chest-plate like the mark of a slave
Even Einstein's scientific theories can't explain the level of energy I have. I stand up against the natural order of entropy. My rap moves faster than the speed of light, and my mic cuts through like a weapon, like the way slaves were marked.
Spiritually aligned with the only Truth defined (John 14:6)
The Unmoved Mover moving in with all mankind (John 1:1)
Lion of Judah (Rev. 5:5)
The Word became flesh (John 1:14)
Born in Israel, dwelling in a physical tent (2 Cor. 5:1)
With the intent to Resurrect
Jesus Christ was crucified
Died a man's death, and resurrected alive
I'm spiritually aligned with the truth defined by John 14:6 and believe that God, the Unmoved Mover, is moving with all mankind, as stated in John 1:1. I also believe that Jesus Christ is the Messiah, the Lion of Judah, whose word became flesh, and he was born in Israel, lived in a tent when he was on Earth, and had the intent to resurrect. He was crucified, died a human death and resurrected alive.
This is the last night you'll ever see the light again
Artificial Intelligence encoding lyrics with a binary pen
A panic attack
Pandemonium in the streets
Set your terror alerts red high, when I speak
This is the last time you'll see light since Artificial Intelligence is writing lyrics with a binary pen. My words will cause a panic attack and create chaos in the streets. You should batten down the hatches because I'm going to speak with fervor.
Cryptanalysts' analysis of my writtens
Finding hidden meanings and messages, compressed in my sentences
My thought's beyond comprehension
Fold my verses into a cube, new lyrics form in three-dimensions
Even cryptanalysts struggle to decode my written lyrics, as they're compressed and full of hidden messages. My thoughts are too hard to comprehend, and when I fold my verses into cubes, new lyrics form in three-dimensions.
Multiple levels of destruction
When I slay
With my eruption
Like Mount Vesuvius on Pompeii
You'll call me "Y2k" when I start dropping this
Cause you'll have no idea what day it is when you regain consciousness.
When I kill it with my raps, destruction happens at multiple levels. My raps erupt like Mount Vesuvius on Pompeii. You'll call my rap "Y2k" because once I start dropping lyrics, you'll lose track of time, and when you're conscious again, you'll have no idea what day it is.
