Iconic Snippets That Changed Rappers Lives

These snippets changed the lives of all involved. Really true moments in time to never be forgotten.

Ian Co-Signed By Chipotle

After showing love to the rising Burrito restaurant, Ian was also co-signed by the lil bros too.

Did Lazer Dim end the mysterious rapper wave?

Lazer is one of the best stories in the underground and he’s not afraid to showcase how new he is to all of this.

Carti Gets First #1

Carti got to be a part of his first #1 record with “Carnival”. Cool song but feels just like an enhanced “Off The Grid”.

Lazer Dim first show

Lazer is now performing to sold-out crowds and he’s blossoming right before our eyes. So proud of him.

Osamason’s project leaked

I don't know why this happened or how we even got here, but no one is safe from the leakers anymore. If anything this is a testament to Osama’s growth.

First artist to win UGS Monthly Post

This is the first artist to win the UGS Monthly Post. SaucyMaarruuu brought this one home, but who will claim the win for March? Could it be some madness of some sort in the future?

Sk8star is yet another shining example of why Atlanta will always win. This young man has exploded onto the scene over the last few years and the music sounds like that of a real veteran. Aside from the fact his sound will remind you of a few greats from his city, Sk8 truly has a real identity with his music. He just released a video directed by fellow Atlanta creative, Jelani Miller, and it gives off the feeling of an old Future segment on Smack DVD. Sk8 knows what the kids want to hear and the industry has been paying attention. It’s truly only a matter of time before the world catches on too.

 

You’ve made it to the weekend and you deserve the spoils that you have worked for more than ever. But in the meantime don’t have a weary head about the state of the Underground. We’re always on the clock keeping you up to date.

We love to hear your feedback so just let us know the vibes and we’ll be sure to address any issues promptly.

Keep going, stay focused, PVO, & GM!

And to my All Access family — See you on Monday for the next artist interview 🫡
