Atlanta Music Promoter - CrunkAtlanta
Its not where you are from to determine where you can go in HIP HOP. There has been rappers from places like Mississippi to become one of the biggest rappers of our time- ( DAVID BANNER ). Don't believe the hype that you must live in certain places to "make it ". If you have a genuine sound - not trying to sound like the next rapper, you can make it from any place.
Crunkatlanta@gmail.com - receive emails from places I never heard of - yet the music really sound pretty good. Got to give a shout to my people in AUSTRALIA- GERMANY - SOUTH AFRICA- BRAZIL- JAPAN that been holding me down over the years. Please believe - all those places have a huge following of HIP HOP. It may have started in the United States but its has spread like fire across the world.
