Top producer Jermaine Dupri brought hip-hop the first nationally successful act out of Atlanta, Kris Kross.

During the 1990s, hip hop in Atlanta was mostly centered around as party music, also known as Atlanta Bass, even though there were street rappers like the Hard Boys.  Bass music was a style of music that was up-tempo and was perfect for a city that drew in thousands of people from across the country to experience the Freaknik and its local nightlife.

The 2000s saw a major shift in Atlanta hip-hop with the emergence of Crunk and Trap music. Atlanta artists such as Oomp Camp, Pastor Troy, of course Lil Jon and the Eastside Boyz helped popularized Crunk music. While T.I. can be credited for the introduction of Trap music, the genre furthered grew under the two rappers Young Jeezy and Gucci Mane.
