In Season 1 Episode 2, ?Streets on Lock,? aspiring rappers learn thug life isn?t all its cracked up to be.
Atlanta revolves around two cousins on their way up through the Atlanta rap scene whose opposing views on art versus commerce, success and race will make their quest anything but easy.

When his cousin Alfred becomes Atlanta?s hot rapper, Earn sees an opportunity to manage Alfred?s career. Brian Tyree Henry plays ?Alfred Miles,? Atlanta?s hot of the moment rapper who plans to capitalize on the sudden fame as quickly as possible. Lakeith Lee Stanfield plays ?Darius,? Alfred?s oddly talented right-hand man and musical collaborator. Zazie Beetz plays ?Van,? a pragmatist caught up in a complicated relationship with Earn (Donald Glover) due to their daughter.
