Georgia Rap is a part of the Southern Rap scene. The subjects, the beats, an the rappers are unique then to any other scene in Southern Rap. Georgia Rappers have deep state pride, and it comes through in the their music. Rappers such as Lil Jon, Pastor Troy, D.S.G.B, BoneCrusher, and T.I., have extremely violent lyrics, with little or no relation to the usual "big rims" style of Southern Rap. Atlanta is the home for Georgia rap, but there are other rappers from around the state (i.e. Young Jeezy, who is from Macon and both members of Field Mob who are from Albany, Georgia). Outkast and Goodie Mob put Atlanta on the map in the mid 1990s, and tend to stress less violent but equally provincial themes, though as they have achieved greater fame, Outkast's lyrics have evolved to become more varied. Other artists had big hots in the late 1990s, including Witchdoctor and Cool Breeze. Big names in Atlanta rap promotion, production, and distribution include LaFace Records (started by BabyFace), So So Def, Organized Noise, and the Dungeon Family. Some of the rappers who originated from the Southern States include rap duo OutKast and rap group Goodie Mob. They became one of the groups who were instrumental in the emergence of the Dirty South rap industry in Atlanta, Georgia. Dirty South rap is characterized by older rap styles with southern music, accents and themes.
