The Atlanta scene has been a hub for some of the biggest rap acts of the last decade. Jeezy, T.I., Ludacris, 2 Chainz, Future, the list could really go on and on. What's more, a number of today's brightest stars call this city home, like Young Thug, Rich Homie Quan, and Migos. Which is why it makes perfect sense that ATL kicks off our "Ones to Watch" series, highlighting 10 bubbling acts from a specific region of the country on the verge of striking it big.
The 10 rappers chosen for our Atlanta playlist have made significant waves on the web and IRL, which is a testament to their DIY demeanor. For the record, we've covered each one of these artists in some capacity on our site, whether that be a full-on profile and behind-the-scenes look at Father and his Awful Records crew, or premiering Michael Aristotle's incredibly smooth and well-rounded LP, Thanks for Nothing. In that respect, consider this a refresher of who's next in ATL. Make sure to follow us on SoundCloud for more dope records from the artists you need to know.
