Underexposed: Indie Hip-Hop in Atlanta
“Over the past two decades Atlanta’s population has exploded with a tremendous influx of transplants from cities across the nation and world, bringing with them their talents, skills, experience and individuality. As a result of its changing population, Atlanta’s indie hip-hop scene has become a large, diverse and active cross-section of artists. Yet Atlanta, as with most cities, remains to be defined primarily by its mainstream artists.
In 2009 I relocated to Atlanta with the same misconception about the independent hip-hop scene that most people have……there is only one type of artist and one style of music. I was wrong”

Excerpt From Interview:
What’s your favorite thing about Atlanta?
The city has been a blessing for so many who have moved from worse situations. The fact that it’s helped so many people. But it’s hard to be a native. You remember when the Braves went from worst to first, original Freakniks. We’re all over the place, culture-wise. And creatives are forced to live like Ninja Turtles. They have to live underground like some Splinter shit. We’re trying to help, but no one understands what we’re doing. But it’s collaborative, everyone passes projects on to one another. The city and its creatives should have a symbiotic relationship — creatives go hand in hand with the progress of a city.
