    With names such as Trinidad Jame$ and Big K.R.I.T. featured throughout Scotty ATL’s latest mixtape tape, F.A.I.T.H. (Forever Atlanta in the Heart), the local MC is moving from the Atlanta underground to the forefront of hip-hop. On F.A.I.T.H. he teamed up with DJ Burn One, a collaboration that benefited both artists, pushing them further musically than they would have gone on their own. Standout track “My Shoes” is a smooth, soul-influenced testimonial about perseverance, dedication, and overcoming adversity. F.A.I.T.H. includes rapid-fire verses from Starlito and Killa Kyleon and pulls from the best of both mainstream and underground hip-hop, making the mixtape his most solid creation yet. www.scottyatl.net. less...

    Seems like we’ve been heralding Gadsden, Ala., transplant Yelawolf as the next big thing since he was hood-high to a Chevy. With TRUNK MUZIK, the rest of the nation, and Interscope Records, finally took notice. ‘Bout time. www.myspace.com/yelawolf

    Who knew that when SMKA Productions released its debut mixtape, THE 808 EXPERIENCE: VOL. 1, in December ’08 that it would mark the first wave of the crew’s aural assault on Atlanta. Maybe their moniker, Super Market Knife Attack, should’ve been a dead giveaway. Executive-produced by natives 808 Blake, 7 King and Mike Walbert, The 808 Experience marked a marriage between the Old South’s affinity for 808 bass and the New South’s retro-ATLien craze. With a hodge-podge of unsigned artists, from the hipster-approved to the most ’hood, it bridged the best of both worlds. www.thesmkaexperience.com. less...
