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

    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.

    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.

    Soledad O’Brien Revisits The Atlanta Child Murders… [VIDEO]

    Jun, 11 2010 | Written by ATLien

    Last night, CNN’s Soledad O’Brien hosted a special documentary on ‘The Atlanta Child Murders.’  Thirty years ago, a string of murders of African-American children terrorized Atlanta, Georgia, and gripped the nation.  There were 28 male victims and Jack Mallard, the prosecutor in the case, believes that one man – Wayne Williams – is responsible for at least 25 of them.

    Media reports spread the fear nationwide and reminded parents to keep a close watch over their children. Williams, a former DJ, became an official suspect in the Atlanta child murders when a loud splash in the river was heard during the final hours of a stakeout.

    He is now serving two life sentences in the case, after being tried and convicted of only two of the murders and still insists he’s innocent.

    Soledad revisits the case after interviewing Williams for approx 6 hours over a two day period and casts doubt as to if the real killer was ever apprehended. Continue Reading…
