The guys are back, this week they discuss one of the influential cities in hip-hop, Atlanta. The hip-hop capital of the south. This installment is the first part of a 3-part series that highlights different aspects and eras of Atlanta. The first part covers the artists of the early Trap days, Snap Era, and everyone’s favorite era the Crunk Era. Drop in to hear their thoughts. It’s another episode that you do not want to miss! Join in on the discussion.
This week’s cover artist is a legend and truly doesn’t need an introduction. Clifford Joseph Harris Jr., better known by the stage names T.I. and Tip, is a rapper, record executive, and actor. Harris, one of the highest selling hip-hop artists of all time, is also known as one of the pioneers of trap music, along with fellow Atlanta-based rappers Jeezy and Gucci Mane. The cover art is the album, Urban Legend, which debuted at number seven on the US Billboard 200 chart in 2004, selling 195,000 copies in its first week. This became T.I.'s second US top-ten debut and first to top the latter. The album also debuted at number one on the US Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart.
