In February, Minneapolis hip-hop duo, Big Quarters, hit the road with Atmosphere for the sold-out "Welcome to Minnesota" tour. While the brothers (Brandon Allday and Medium Zach) have been a staple for years in the Twin Cities music scene, the exposure gained from opening for one of the country's biggest independent hip-hop acts was a particular bonus. So it only seems natural that they would match footage from this experience with their song "New Plateau" (from their third full-length "Party Like A Young Commie"). The song's hazy, head-nodding sound is the perfect fit for director Ryan Kron Thompson road-trip visuals. Watch:
