Atlanta hip hop
Atlanta Hip Hop is the hip hop music of Atlanta, Georgia. Atlanta initially came to prominence in the 1990s with groups such as Kriss Kross, Another Bad Creation, and TLC. The scene later came into its own in the mid 1990s with groups such as OutKast, Kilo Ali and Goodie Mob.[1] The city became particularly ascendant in the hip hop scene in the first decade of the 21st century.[2] Ludacris, Lil Jon, T.I., Young Jeezy, Gucci Mane, D4L, and Ying Yang Twins[3] all became famous during the decade.[2] Experimental hip hop musicians, such as Prefuse 73 and Danger Mouse also emerged from the city.[4] In 2010, Adult Swim released ATL RMX, which included remixes of Atlanta MCs such as Shawty Lo and OJ da Juiceman by alternative hip hop producers.[5]
