In the final installment of The Atlanta Project, HYPEBEAST takes a look at the city’s rich music scene. A creative environment conceived out of competitive support, producers and performers alike discuss the tough fight they had to endure to prove to the world that Atlanta is relevant when it comes to its cultural and inspiring energy. We hear from Don Cannon, Raury, Childish Major, and Curtis Williams, all of what they say resonates in the idea that being in Atlanta means being part of a large family. Each artist feels the element of competition, but also of support and drive. The essence of the city was perfectly articulated by Don Cannon when he said, “A little laid back and slow? Maybe. Because that’s just southern comfort.”
