“I’m here to win, I am going to be around forever. Follow me in real life”. ~ Scotty ATL

Scotty ATL has remained consistent as Atlanta’s music scene has progressed over the years and what’s most exciting about his new project ‘Candler Melrose’ is that it shows his evolution as a businessman and artist. Scotty ATL has truly branded a sound on this project that is rooted in Southern rap stylings along with the emcee’s impeccable beat selection. It’s more of a tale of success than just the hustle, two things Scotty ATL is extremely familiar with.

It’s not too far-fetched to consider ‘Candler Melrose’ a classic project from Scotty ATL already with its stacked production and feature credits. Mega producers and frequent collaborators like Zaytoven, DJ Burn One, DJ Tune, Tasha Catour and many more helped to create the space for Scotty ATL to talk about his journey as a rapper who easily balances running his own business. Other collaborators on the project include Big K.R.I,T., Curren$y, G Perico, Ace Hood, Sleepy Brown, and Young Dro to name a few who aid Scotty ATL in bringing it all to life. Even with the long list of collaborators, the lyrical delivery from the East Side representer is what stands out the most. 

Outside of rapping, Scotty ATL successfully runs a custom grills business based in Atlanta with Grillz by Scotty which has led him to receive some high-profile clients such as Issa Rae, Tory Lanez, Big Boi of Outkast, Atlanta Hawks, PUMA, and has provided a new level of freedom for the young entrepreneur to focus on creating music on his own time. He’s even been a featured guest on the Steve Harvey Show, The 85 South Podcast, and has performed twice during Rugby ATL’s halftime games, outside of his countless accomplishments with his business. Scotty ATL is proof that you don’t have to stay in one lane as a rapper and can still feed your audience with good, solid music.

It’s motivation music and it’s a breath of fresh air to get you through the day.

[ATL Rap Celebrity Photos] Flashback with Outkast, Shawty Lo, Gucci Mane, Slim Dunkin, and more

Here is round 2 of Atlanta Rap Celebrity Photos. This edition highlights moments with Outkast, Killer Mike, Gucci Mane, Shawty Lo, Scotty ATL, Slim Dunkin and more. Follow me on Instagram for more flashback photos: @msrivercity

Andre 3000 – Counterpoint 2014
Big Boi – Counterpoint 2014
Outkast – Counterpoint 2014

These rare Outkast photos were taken for Allhiphop at Counterpoint 2014 during the Outkast Reunion Tour. This was my first concert shooting with a DSLR camera. I practiced for weeks in hopes I would get approved to shoot this set.

I believe there were nearly 20,000 people at this festival. I got the approval notice about 15 minutes before showtime and I had 5 mins to haul a** across a throng of fans to make it in time. I was successful, but a few people got elbowed along the way. (You can read the full story here)

This was a career moment and probably the best show of my life so far. BTW, Andre sweated on my camera a little bit.

Killer Mike & Big Boi

This was taken at DTLR in Atlanta around 2011. Killer Mike was a big supporter of OZONE Magazine and he visited our office often. It always impressed me how he remembered all the writers and knew our work. We were located across the street from Stankonia Studios. The Stankonia Christmas party was always my favorite event. Big Boi likes to look fresh for photos.

Future in the Studio

This was young Future writing in the studio around late 2010 / early 2011. He could have been working on the Dirty Sprite mixtape in this photo. Future always impressed me how he would write and record several songs in one night, then go hit 2 or 3 clubs and perform until 5am. His stamina and work ethic were incredible.

Gucci Mane – BET Hip Hop Awards 2009

Gucci was looking clean & fresh at the 2009 BET Hip Hop Awards red carpet gathering. See below for more Gucci photos:

Gucci Mane & Nicki Minaj – Southern Ent Awards 2009

Gucci Mane and Nicki Minaj were seen together a lot around this time. Nicki was great on camera and she always appreciated the press. This was taken backstage at Southern Entertainment Awards. Speaking of, the SEAs takes place May 28-30th, 2021 in Nashville, TN.

Shawty Lo and Gucci Mane – Best of the Best, Miami

This is one of my favorite photos of Shawty Lo. I took this in Miami during the Best of the Best Music Fest. Shouts out to Malik and Julia Beverly for hooking up this event for me, as well as DJ Scream for plugging me in to work several projects with Lo and the D4L artists. Lo was always so positive and upbeat. He always put me in good spirits and I miss him. Rest in peace. I know he’s up there rooting for me in heaven.

Lil Baby at Quality Control Studios

Here’s Lil Baby at a private DJ listening party for the Harder than Hard Gangsta Grillz mixtape with DJ Drama. Shouts out to Drama for hooking me up with some excellent projects to promote and publicize. I also got to be part of 2 Chainz TRU Realigion mixtape with Drama. I never realized how iconic some of these projects would become.

Scotty ATL at CountryRapTunez x MsRivercity event

This was Scotty ATL around 2012 during the release of The Jiffy Cornbread Experience. Scotty stopped through the studio for our media launch event with CountryRapTunez and MsRivercity. This is a screenshot of our video interview which you can check out on my Youtube channel (be sure to subscribe). Shouts out to Cory Mo and Spitty Will.

BTW, Scotty’s “Trappin Gold” album is fire. He’ll be discussing it on RudeGirlRadio with DJ Roots Queen and you can read more about the project here.

Slim Dunkin x Sy Ari da Kid in the studio – 2010

I saved my boy Slim Dunkin for last since he was always the best at lighting me up. This is a screenshot of Dunk and Sy Ari da Kid at Arrogant Studios on the Northside of Atlanta around the time they had the Bad Boyz duo thing popping. Everything they made together was tough.

Slim Dunkin OZONE Interview w/ MsRivercity

I didn’t realize this interview was going to be so historic. We filmed this in the parking lot with my Flip camera (lol). You can watch it here. I don’t believe Dunk got to do much press before he passed away — he was the strong silent type. I’m sure if he were still with us he would have made it to the cover of all the rap magazines. He was that big of a star. I saw it immediately and knew the rest of the world would catch up soon.

Dunk and I put out a lot of his music through the TrapsNTrunks mixtapes. Shouts out to K Dough. Anytime Dunk had a new record he would send it to me first — that’s how I got such a heavy Brick Squad following, plus the exclusive Waka Flocka records.

Old Blackberry camera photo of Dunk and I (lol)

Dunk was like my little big brother. He was a lot younger but always had that older brother vibe of looking out for me when I was out doing late night club runs by myself. He always said, “Jen, if anyone messes with you let me know and I’ll handle ’em.” His death really affected me. He had so much potential. I’m sure we’ll meet again on the other side. Life is eternal and Dunk will always be a legend.

That wraps it up for this edition of flashback photos. You can sign up for my email list to get alerts on new content here.

Thanks for reading and God bless!

Album Release

Album releases are pouring in lately as we are experiencing the after effects of longterm quarantine. Clearly our favorite rappers have made good use of the time locked in the studio. Here are four picks you should be listening to right now:

Scotty ATL – Trappin Gold

It’s been almost 2 years since the release of Scotty’s $treams album and us die hard fans have been looking forward to the unveiling of Trappin Gold. Featuring massive bangers with Bun B (“Hol It Down” prod. by Cory Mo) and Ace Hood (“Own Lane” ft. Slim Diesel), Trappin Gold is a superb edition to Scotty’s album and mixtape collection. Highlights: “Virgin Oil”, “The Shop” ft. King Shy, “7 Days a Week”, “Fold dat Sack.”

Young Buck – Back on My Buck Shit III (prod. by Drum Squad)

Young Buck Back on My Buck Sht 3

Tennessee titans Young Buck and Drumma Boy dropped a major rap bomb with “Back On My Buck Sh*t III.” The third edition of B.O.M.B.S., which is a follow up to last week’s Vaccine project, features Drumma Boy, Sada Baby, Boosie Badazz, Berner and Tee Grizzley. Highlights: “Come Thru”, “Living”, “2 Aces”, “Check Wit It.”

Duke Deuce – Duke Nukem

Duke Deuce Duke Nukem

Speaking of Tennessee rappers dropping bombs, Memphis heavy hitter Duke Deuce blessed us with Duke Nukem featuring Mulatto, A$AP Ferg, Young Dolph, Offset and more. If he was aiming to set the internet on fire, mission accomplished. Like the intro says, Duke is “Coming Out Hard” on the Quality Control roster. Crunk highlights: “Toot Toot”, “Kirk”, “Gangsta Party”, “Duke Skywalker”, “Fell Up In the Club.”

Sy Ari Da Kid – It’s Not You, It’s Me

Sy Ari Da Kid - It's Not You It's Me

Sy Ari Da Kid granted us a deep-diving look into his personal life just in time for Valentine’s Day 2021. The album premiere last month was a follow up to June’s A Toxic Heartbreak. It’s Not You, It’s Me continues the theme of roller coaster relationships and jilted lovers. The witty punchlines and satirical humor Sy is known for are prominent throughout the project as Sy makes light of stalkers and bad karma. Maybe Da Kid is just misunderstood, but his music perfectly communicates what’s it’s like being a man in pursuit of his dream. Highlights: “I Hope You See This From Your Fake Page” ft. Natra Average, “It’s Not You, It’s Me”, “For Sade”, “Before She Kills Us Both”, “Daddy Issues” ft. Trouble.
