Georgia may have raised Black musical icons like Otis Redding, Little Richard, James
Brown and Gladys Knight, but its crown city—Atlanta—was not known for music
until L.A. Reid and Kenneth “Babyface” Edmonds set-up shop with LaFace
Records in 1989. Even then, Atlanta became the epicenter for the smooth R&B- gone-pop sound of
Laface artists such as Toni Braxton and TLC. In other parts of the
South, the fun-loving, booty-shaking sounds of Florida, mainly Luke and the 69 Boyz, dominated.
Despite the Geto Boyz in Houston and a few others, Southern Hip-Hop was largely defined by
bass music.

Feature
It’s an anthem for the little boy facing the school bully or the grown man facing his deepest fears or any one of us facing the everyday things of life. It’s an affirmation of courage and fortitude; a thunderous chant that speaks volumes. And for Atlanta born rapper Bone Crusher it’s the phrase that has made him an icon in and around his hometown.
