Experience Atlanta's Rap & Trap Music Scene
Discover why Atlanta remains the music epicenter of Southern trap culture for rap artists and hip-hop legends alike.
The holy trinity of trap music – T.I., Gucci Mane, and Young Jeezy – all hail from Atlanta, and the list of new artists performing in the ever-evolving subgenre of hip-hop is massive. "Trap" began as a slang term to refer to houses where illicit activities would take place, but over the years, it has mutated and broadened.
Now, Trap music is more about the hustle, making money, the urban experience of taking a systemic disadvantage and figuring out how to turn it into art. Rap and Trap music is charismatic, boastful, edgy, clever, and unstoppable.
