[edit] Biography

The four members of ATL - vocalists Tre, Will, L-Rock, and rapper Danger, came together after being chosen though an Atlanta-area talent search. Where previous R&B groups (112, Jagged Edge) had crossed over into hip-hop, by either featuring a guest rapper, or appearing on someone else's album, ATL were a self-contained R&B/hip-hop/fusion band. The quartet enlisted R. Kelly to produce their debut single, "Calling All Girls," which was released in 2003.

Although the media is yet to confirm their status there has been leaked tracks to prove their existence. It possible that the leaked tracks are off their upcoming album due at the end of the year. Tracks include "Us" featuring Ciara and Ne-Yo, possibly being their 1st single off their second album still yet to be titled. "All Grown Men" is another song that has been leaked onto the net suggesting that their second album is in the production process. Other tracks in clude "Throwback" and "In The Club Tonight" featuring Jagged Edge. ATL has also colloborated with UK MC Doctor on a track called "Do It". A new song called Follin' Around leaked onto the internet, and potentially their first single of their new album.
