The ATL Connect


After a few weeks of listening to the hip hop program on 88.5 I discovered a few more artists that were very ear catching. My neighbor and I decided to make a run to the A and catch a hip hop show. We ain't got shit like that out here in NE GA. We headed to a little spot in Atl called Sugarhill. When we got to the area we were looking all over for the joint. We asked a few people where the show was and no one seemed to know. There is a bar located next to the place, and either they were too damned drunk or really did not know. Standing around and smoking cigarettes eventually a line was forming and we knew we found the right spot. Jawz of Life and Mojo Swagger was performing that night and we wanted some REAL hip hop. Hit us with a CD, mixtape,shirt...whatever. We had to see this shit with our own eyes! Tired of waiting until Sunday night to hear a dope song, we needed something to put in rotation soon. Jawz did his song "Fly On" and everybody hands in the air. Hip hop is alive! Next on the stage was Mojo Swagger. Dude grabbed the mic, bass rumbled through the club, and everybody shut the fuck up. "Wrong Path" was the song he was performing and you could tell by the inflection in his voice he meant every word like he lived it. No big chain, no gimmick, just lyrics. Thats KEEPING IT REAL. I guess thats the difference between an emcee and a rapper.
