Noisey Presents | Atlanta | Welcome To The Trap



After exploring the impoverished neighborhoods of Chicago, Noisey is set to bring the world into the underworld of Atlanta. Starring familiar rap faces like Gucci Mane, 2 Chainz, Future, Migos, Young Thug, Trinidad James, Rich Homie Quan, Young Scooter, Waka Flocka, PeeWee Longway and more, Noisey gives us an uncensored tour of the ATL slums. With a focus on the drugs, trap houses, gangs, problems, and solutions behind one of hip-hop’s most successful states in recent years, Noisey aims to shed light on the community’s harsh realities.



Watch part 1

Noisey:
“When a rapper’s rapping, you should be able to smell the dope cooking.”

In the first episode of our new 10-part series on Atlanta, host Thomas Morton meets longtime stick-up boy Curtis Snow (Snow On Da Bluff) while explaining what Atlanta means and why it’s become the center of drug trafficking and rap music. Later, we find ourselves in iconic Patchwerk Studios with Black Mafia Family’s Bleu Davinci. He explains the rise and fall of BMF, the city’s scene over the last decade, and what he thinks it takes to make it today. After a game of pool, we head to the strip club to meet Migos.

Noisey Atlanta is a 10-part series documenting unprecedented access into the city’s rap scene. Hosted by VICE / HBO / Noisey’s Thomas Morton and directed by Andy Capper—the makers of Noisey Chiraq—the series stars artists like 2 Chainz, Gucci Mane, Migos, Rich Homie Quan, Young Thug, Jeezy, iLoveMakonnen, and also spends time with the new wave of super-producers like Mike Will Made-It, Metro Boomin, and 808 Mafia.
