“The Real ATL”

If you are interested in what the underground is truly capable of, peep this new joint by ATL’s hottest. 4-Ize’s “Illuminated Animals” was my favorite mixtape to hit the streets in 2009. Senor Kaos is still pumpin’ his latest and greatest mix-tape, “Walk Softly and Carry a Big Brick”. Boog Brown’s “Grind Season” is out now and it is on FIRE.  These are the trend setters for our scene. We expect big things from all three this year.

Now here it is. Thanks to DJ Grandman… “The Real ATL” brings them all together on one song.

Yelawolf & Bobby Creekwater @ 529 East Atlanta

So…I was perusing the ATL this weekend for something to do and I stumbled upon this Diamond in the rough! It just so happened that the homie Maurice Garland (www.Mauricegarland.com) put together a show with some of my favorite new artist at 529 in East Atlanta. I’m talking Bobby Creekwater, Yelawolf, Pill and Freddie Gibbs!!! (Hint: U may see some of these names on the XXL Freshman Class list). The bill was CRAZY and the house was packed!. I didn’t get the whole show; I was too busy having fun. But, here is what I did get. Enjoy!

And then there was Methuzulah

Lately a new name has been appearing on flyers and posters around ATL’s hip-hop hot spots. Who is this? How did he suddenly appear on the scene with such momentum? Not to be confused with the biblical Methuselah, this cat has a fresh yet familiar flow as can be heard on this joint featuring our man DJ Dainja. It’s called “Sleeping Fist”. CHECK IT!
