| Summary: | "Painted by hand with acrylic paint and detail brushes, the Atlanta Rap Map took over three years to complete. Anything that is included on the map has been literally 'put on the map' by being mentioned in a hit song (from classic underground staples, to local hits, to worldwide chart toppers) or an influential album. The research itself took over a year as older artists were uncovered, and hundreds of albums were listened through in their entirety. Artists were selected for portraits based on their contribution to the genre, overall influence, and popularity/reach."--Veazey Studio website. |
