    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.

    Set Up for A Comback? Nappy Roots Gets Help From Organized Noize?

    May, 10 2011 | Written by ATLien

    Word on the curb is that Atlanta-based rap group Nappy Roots, the five-man hip hop collective responsible for the multi-platinum smash Watermelon, Chicken & Gritz, is currently at Dungeon East Studios working with the Organized Noize production team on a new CD.

    In case you didn’t know, Organized Noize is the multi-platinum-selling award-winning trio consisting of Rico Wade, Ray Murray and Sleepy Brown that helped shape Southern Hip Hop with OutKast?s ground breaking Southernplayalisticadillacmuzik album.

    Rico Wade explains:

    We?ve been credited with creating the ?Sound of the South,? and Nappy Roots is considered the ?Conscience of the South,? so it?s great that Nappy wanted to work with us.

    People are going to be impressed by this album.?

    Nappy Roots’ new project marks the first time the trio has worked on an entire album in quite some time. Nappy Roots rapper Skinny DeVille speaks on the excitement of working with the legendary production team:

    It?s an honor to be working with legends like Organized Noize. Nappy Roots is a family and Organized Noize is like our older cousins that we haven?t seen in a while, so the [sessions are] like a family reunion.

    We stayed true to ourselves, but Organized Noize has pushed our limits and taken the music to the next level.

    Well there you have it.? Stay tuned for the fawnk!

    In the meantime, how bout a Nappy Roots “Awl Naw” Flashback….
