While Atlanta’s greatest influence on the world probably comes in a red can (that’s Coca-Cola for those keeping track), the city is also known for its role in the Civil Rights Movement and hosting of the 1996 Olympics. And these days … for its hip-hop artists.
Following the success of Atlanta’s multi-platinum stars like OutKast, Cee Lo Green, Ludacris, Ciara, B.o.B. Young Jeezy and T.I., The New York Times dubbed the city “hip-hop’s centre of gravity”.
