Atlanta will always be where its at
Atlanta is pretty much definitively the music capital of the world at this point (with respect to Baltimore, Miami, Virginia Beach and London). All mainstream trends in urban, punk, alternative pretty much come from Georgia. Not rock music you say, uh, Black Lips, Atlas Sound, Of Montreal, some of the brightest lights. The completion of the weird transition from hip hop to full on electro in urban music is becoming one of the most fascinating (and celebrated for me) movements in music history. This is a slight song, but being that its from Princess and Lil Jay of Crime Mobb a group known for crunk and hardcore makes it intriguingly weird. Of course, if you've ever read anything with Lil Jon, crunk was really his aggro versions of Kraftwerk anyway....
