<description><![CDATA[The self-proclaimed King of Crunk, Atlanta rap icon Lil Jon has built up a formidable empire since he first hit the scene in 1997. Best known for his hyperactive, chant-along style, he's scored a long string of crossover hits, including "Bia Bia," "Get Low," and "Damn!" And he's not just a rapper -- Jon's production skills are in serious demand from all kinds of artists, among them Usher, who enlisted him to lace the beat for his single "Yeah." In addition to cranking out platinum hits, Lil Jon has also helped to develop new talent, including Lil Scrappy and Trillville.

<description><![CDATA[ATL duo Kaine and D-Roc bring the booty-inspired party anthems over devilishly catchy production. Speedy beats, freaky keyboards and ample whistling keep the clubs crunk while they sound off on sex-hungry ladies with tight assets and loose morals. "Whistle While You Twurk" hit No. 1 in the spring of 2000, and their debut album <I>Thug Walkin'</I> was released a few months later. <I>Alley ... Return of the Ying Yang Twins</I> dropped in 2002, followed by their third LP, <I>Me and My Brother</I> (which spawned the mega-hit "Salt Shaker") in late 2003. The Twins' highly anticipated fourth album, <I>U.S.A. (United State of Atlanta)</I>, hit the streets in the summer of 2005, propelled by the lead single "Wait (The Whisper Song)." They followed <I>U.S.A.</I> with fifth album <I>Chemically Imbalanced</I> in 2006. That effort was a commercial disappointment, generating a fraction of the previous album's sales and failing to produce a hit single. Afterwards, the group went on a short hiatus, returning in 2008 with the mixtape <I>Official Work</I>.

<description><![CDATA[Hailing from Houston Texas, Lil' Flip built up a large local following before taking over the Billboard charts. As a teenager, he worked with legendary producer/mix-tape kingpin DJ Screw, appearing on a number of compilation albums and dropping various cameos. Known in some circles as the "Dirty South's Undisputed Freestyle King," he and his manager started Suckafree Records in 2000, and released an LP called <i>The Leprechaun</i>. Sony picked up Flip and his label, and put out <i>Undaground Legend</i> in 2002, featuring the super-catchy, immensely popular single, "The Way We Ball".

<description><![CDATA[Stepping out of Greenville, N.C., Petey Pablo first turned heads with verses on Mystikal's <i>Let's Get Ready</i> and Black Rob's "Whoa" remix. Known for his intense delivery and amped flow, he released his debut solo album <i>Diary Of A Sinner: 1st Entry</i> in 2001, fuelled by the rambunctious lead single, "Raise Up." In 2004, he returned with <i>Still Writing In My Diary...</i>, featuring the Lil Jon produced hit single "Freek-A-Leek."

<description><![CDATA[Atlanta's Youngbloodz come rocketing out of the gate with a ruggedly energized, southern-fried club shout-along. Their burly, determined flows and breakneck drums will have you hollering "U-Way" and jumping up and down like a lunatic.

<description><![CDATA[Even for those with an abiding ambivalence for rock 'n" roll music, the allure of the rock star lifestyle is undeniable. In 2007, overnight sensation Shop Boyz captured a little of that magic with their breakthrough single "Party like a Rock Star." You can find rappers Meany, Fat and Sheed catching a tan with Marilyn Manson, or tripping with the Osbournes. But, like all good rappers, they're also in the "spot" with "hoes" and "fine dimes" who "look like Pamela" and won't "let my thang go." It's as if the ATL rappers have distilled the best of both worlds, hip-hop and rock, and regurgitated it for a song that's destined to be a very popular ringtone. The subsequent debut, <i>Rockstar Mentality</i>, rocks every bit as hard as you'd want.

<description><![CDATA[Something of a Dirty South version of Killah Priest, Pastor Troy mixes biblical scriptures with fiery gangsta threats. His '99 debut, <i>We Ready, I Declare War</i>, featured Troy and his crew (Down South Georgia Boyz) giving love for God, repping Augusta, Ga., and taking aim at rival Master P. In 2000, Troy stayed busy releasing two more albums and collaborating with Ludacris, E-40 and Three 6 Mafia. <i>Universal Soldier</i> came in 2002, <i>By Any Means Necessary</i> followed in 2004. Though he flirted with mainstream success, by 2006's <i>Tool Muziq</i> he returned to making dirty Southern gothic that balanced the influence of God and guns. 2008's <i>Attitude Adjuster</i> was similarly grim.

<description><![CDATA[An appropriately crunked-out emcee from Atlanta, Lil Scrappy is a follower of Lil Jon, who produced his breakout single "Headbussa" and much of his debut LP, a double album with Trillville. Stylistically, Scrappy sounds nearly identical to many other ATL acts, with lots of fast rhymes, shouted choruses, piles of keyboards and syncopated, bass-heavy beats.
<br> </br>In 2006, Scrappy's career took a somewhat unexpected detour when he signed with 50 Cent's G-Unit label. The following, <i>Bred to Die</i>, didn't mess with Scrappy's winning formula, but it did increasingly incorporate G-Unit's trademark gangsta nihilism.

<description><![CDATA[Coming from the west side of Atlanta, Dem Franchize Boyz hit the scene hard with their breakout summer single "White Tees." After working independently, building a rep and putting out their own singles, the group was picked up by Universal/Motown, who released its self-titled first full-length in the fall of 2004. Not immediately popular, the disc was bolstered by Jermaine Dupri's surprise hit remix for "Oh I Dink They Like Me." Unfortunately, the single charted nearly a year after the release of the album. The Boyz released their sophomore effort, </i> On Top of Our Game</i>, in spring, 2004. Though the album was not much of a departure, it did contain elements of the faddish snap sub-genre, which is essentially crunk with the snare drums replaced by finger snaps. "Lean Wit It, Rock Wit It" was the single from </i> On Top of Our Game</i>.

<description><![CDATA[Atlanta crew Boyz N Da Hood emerged seemingly from nowhere in the summer of 2005, storming urban radio with their introductory anthem "Dem Boyz." Comprised of Young Jeezy, Jody Breeze, Duke and Big Gee, the group was assembled by Sho' Nuff Records co-owner and Block Entertainment CEO Russell "Block" Spencer, (who marketed them as a Dirty South version of gangsta rap icons NWA) and eventually signed to P. Diddy's Bad Boy South label. Their self-titled debut album, loaded with crunk beats and criminal-minded verses, hit stores in June of 2005.

<description><![CDATA[Before going solo, this 380-pound former chef and Lyrical Giants member provided weighty vocals on a number of albums for other rap artists. While still in the LGs, Crusher met producer Jermaine Dupri, who helped record Bone Crusher's major label debut, <I>AttenCHUN!</I>. They enlisted the cream of the Southern Rap crop to help out: the album boasts appearances from Killer Mike, David Banner and Chyna White. But most of the praise the disc received was clearly directed toward Crusher, whose limber tongue and rapid-fire raps impressed critics and fans across the country.

<description><![CDATA[Best known for the unbelievably catchy 2003 radio hit "A.D.I.D.A.S.," Killer Mike is a dirty south rapper with ties to Atlanta superstars Outkast (he appeared on a handful of the group's songs before breaking out on his own). Killer Mike incorporates Gravediggaz-like horrorcore into his music, coming off as the weirdest of the whole dirty south hip-hop scene -- a refreshing take on a genre that's usually a little more "follow-the-leader" than is good for anybody. Killer Mike's debut album, <I>Monster</I>, came out on Sony in 2003.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[A three-man crew out of Atlanta, Trillville comprises Dirty Mouth, Lil LA and Don P. Soldiers on the front lines of the Crunk revolution, they scored a big hit in 2003 with the riot-inciting shout rap "Neva Eva," produced by fellow ATL representative Lil Jon. Their debut album <I>Welcome To Trillville</I> was released the following year, packaged as a two-for-one special with Lil Scrappy sharing half of the running time.

<description><![CDATA[Longtime homies of Atlanta rapper T.I., the P$C (Pimp Squad Crew) came up with Tip while hustling in the Bankhead neighborhood before going legit and focusing on their music. This four man squad -- comprised of Big Kuntry, AK, C-Rod and MacBone -- have costarred with T.I. on several of his solo albums and numerous mix-tapes, as well as the lead single from the soundtrack to <I>Hustle & Flow</I>, "I'm A King." Style-wise they are the prototypical ATL unit, lacing chunky beats and wily keyboards with syrupy rhymes about the drug trade and pimp tendencies. P$C dropped their debut album <i>25 To Life</i> in the fall of 2005.

<description><![CDATA[If the road to salvation is paved with stupidity, then the three young rappers in Da Muzicianz are barreling towards Nirvana. Anchored by Ying Yang Twins emcee D-Roc, the group also includes Mr. Ball and Da Birthday Boy, both of whom are too young to enter the strip clubs they rap about. But thankfully they're shifty enough to get around the club's bouncers, allowing them to revel in life's simple pleasures: drinking, dancing and "hitting skins." Indeed, the Muzicianz bypass weighty self-consciousness, focusing instead on showing love to "everybody that tipsy" and demanding that their audience "go dumb" and "do the crazy dance." And of course the crazy dance requires a degree of physical agility, which is why the emcees cherish female fans whose "titties pop out like jello" as they're "twisting, turning, bopping, burning, topping, churning, and switching." But Da Muzicianz are no misogynists. As the song "Strip Leader" proves, they respect the pole-dancing matriarchs that make their lives worth living.

<description><![CDATA[D'Jay is the character that Oscar-nominated actor Terrance Howard played in 2005's surprise hit, <i>Hustle and Flow</i>. The central character in the gritty film, D'Jay was a down-and-out pimp who decided to try his hand at rap after becoming disillusioned with prostitution. Though D'Jay was a sympathetic character, the movie effectively de-romanticized many of the myths surrounding pimps. He was poor, depressed and sympathetic to his girls and the music that he created developed similar themes. While suggesting that it's "hard out here for a pimp" is hardly revolutionary, it is a far cry from the platinum plus fantasies offered by rappers such as Snoop.
