Story behing the melody

                                     Story Behind The Melody

 

    Atlanta's Hip Hop, also known as trap music sound, was created because of Atlanta's long history in the illegal drug trade. Young Jeezy and Gucci Mane were two of many of the first "Trap" rappers.

 

 

 

 

 

The Unique Sound

It is a raspy aggressive style of music that has been rapidly growing over the past few years starting in the late 90's early 2000's. Coincidentally it has become more popular than the New York or northern style music, which was the first genre of Hip Hop ever created.
