Of course, y’all know I’m always hyped about reppin’ the home team, so the number #1 reason I personally love Atlanta is…
Because we have our own terminology:
“ATL, SWATS [South West Atlanta Too Strong], Old NAT’L, and, of course, ATLien ? all invented by Dungeon Family artists. Also, true Atlantans also know that the only ‘T’ found in ‘Atlanna’ comes in a glass with lots of sugar and a lil lemon.”
