    Atlanta is a thriving mecca for hip-hop culture and it’s not unusual for influential artists to join forces with the City’s vast political culture. This year marked the 31st anniversary of the United Negro College Fund’s Mayor’s Masked Ball, a black Tie and gown affair, hosted by the Mayor of The City of Atlanta.

    Comedian Chris Tucker, Ludacris, Big Boi, Producer Will Packer, Young Jeezy, Ambassador Andrew Young, and Phaedra Parks are just a few of the many Atlanta celebrities & dignitaries who contributed to the $500 a plate fundraising event. I even grabbed my masked and headed to the swanky event!

    There were over 1,300 guests in attendance, who were treated to a performance by Chaka Khan.? All played a part in donations during the 31st Annual UNCF Masked Ball surpassing over a million dollars for the organization this year!

    WATCH: ‘ATL: The Untold Story of Atlanta?s Rise in the Rap Game’ [FULL VIDEO] #ATLRise

    Sep, 3 2014 | Written by ATLien

    Lil Jon BTS

    The VH1 documentary ‘ATL: The Untold Story of Atlanta?s Rise in the Rap Game’ aired last night (September 2, 2014) and it was embraced with open arms.

    ATL The Untold Story - StraightFromTheAThe show not only went through the musical history of Atlanta, it was also a Black History lesson in that the hip-hop explosion that occurred in our city also coincided with Atlanta’s civil rights legacy.

    The documentary is different in that it touches on the city?s meager, mostly overlooked hip-hop beginnings and pays well-deserved homage to frequently overlooked early musical contributors like MC Shy D, Kilo Ali, Raheem the Dream, King Edward J., Arnell Star and more.

    [FLASHBACK: Remembering Arnell Star: Atlanta’s Legendary Music Legend Laid To Rest… (PHOTOS + VIDEO)]

    The documentary also focuses on the musical groundwork laid by producers Organized Noize, Dallas Austin and Jermaine Dupri.

    By linking the city?s rap scene with its historic civil rights roots, the film sets Atlanta?s southern breed of hip-hop apart from the coasts that alternately dominated the genre before the South?s rise.

    The documentar also ties the local scene?s launch in 1982 ? when Mo-Jo became the first local rapper to release a record with ?Battmann: Let Mo-Jo Handle It? ? to the end of Atlanta?s Missing and Murdered Children case that plagued the city?s African-American community for four years before reportedly ending that same year.
