Atlanta is "hip-hop's center of gravity," as The New York Times said it. Early on, the success of ATL’s very own Kris Kross and OutKast placed the city firmly on the hip-hop map, along New York City and Los Angeles. Throughout the years, some of the most successful Hip-Hop artists, such as T.I., Ludacris, Usher, 2 Chainz and Future, continue to hail from the ATL.

But that is not all. Atlanta’s diversity is reflected through its music and the many genres that it represents. Atlanta has generated some of the nation’s most creative indie rock, hard rock, and folk talent, including Grammy Award-winning duo Indigo Girls, Shawn Mullins and The Balck Crowes.

Atlanta's thriving music scene makes it a perfect place to sample music festivals year-round and discover live music around the city at its various venues, restaurant and bars. Atlanta’s neighborhoods offer diverse tunes from hip-hop to bluegrass, EDM, jazz, rock and so much more.
