Big Facts: OGs feat. Big Blade, Bear & B

Big Bank and DJ Scream host a Big Facts roundtable at Revolt Studios in Atlanta with OGs from multiple sides of the city to address concerns about how Atlanta is misinterpreted and how its history is often told by outsiders. 

Big Blade, Bear & B compare pre-internet “word of mouth” Atlanta with today’s rap-driven era, discussing the impact of gang culture, the shift from a shared enemies (police and poverty) to internal conflict, and how young people now publicly advertise affiliations and crimes. 

The group also names figures who represent Atlanta globally (Future, T.I.) and culturally (Ant-Man), and closes with advice for youth about focus, maturity, and not taking everything personally.
