The main innovation of the Atlanta hip-hop scene, and in fact of Southern hip-hop as a whole (also incorporating cities like New Orleans, Houston, Memphis and Miami), is trap. In short, Atlanta’s impact on the international music scene is totally disproportionate to the size of its population. Not only was it the birthplace of Martin Luther King, Jr it is now the “hip-hop capital of the world”, having spawned current stars such as Future, Gucci Mane, 21 Savage, Young Thug and Migos - and, before that, the likes of Andree 3000, Usher, Jermaine Dupri, Jeezy, Ludacris, OJ da Juiceman, OutKast, B.o.B., 2 Chainz, The-Dream, CeeLo Green, Lil Jon, and many others. Located more or less in the middle of nowhere in the South-Eastern USA, and containing just under half a million inhabitants, the city of Atlanta, Georgia punches above its weight.
And I do it without receiving any money and a lot of them use the beats on their mixtapes and albums without me even knowing.Central to Atlanta’s white-hot rap scene is producer Zaytoven, who brings a West Coast flavour to trap. I send out beats to a lot of these young guys that I really think are talented and got something special. Zaytoven has issued a statement to about Chief Keef’s comments. I’m finna do that sh-t too… That sh-t is not right. Sonny Digital don’t do that sh-t.”Īfter admitting he recently gave the same beat to different people as well, Keef added, “I ain’t gonna lie. At one point Keef said, “That n-gga Zaytoven had to be drunk.” He even called out fellow Atlanta based producer Metro Boomin – “Zay and Metro do that sh-t. “Plus, he gives everybody the same beat.”Ĭhief Keef went on to accuse Zaytoven of giving other artists such as Icewear Vezzo, Cash Out, Migos, and 21 Savage beats that he already rapped over. It’s a lot of little goofy sh-t,” stated Keef. The clip features the 20-year-old explaining why he has not released any other Zay-produced records. Footage of Keef talking on FaceTime about Zaytoven made its way to the internet.
