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. Central to Atlanta’s white-hot rap scene is producer Zaytoven, who brings a West Coast flavour to trap.
