Recognizing Atlanta's Musical Influence

There is a disconnect between how the world recognizes Atlanta's musical influence and how the city's leaders acknowledge it. Examples include campaigns using artists from outside Atlanta, such as Stacey Abrams' anthem by J. Rock and the Atlanta Falcons' theme song by Routinee, both not from Atlanta. This is seen as a lack of representation for Atlanta's hip-hop scene, as evident in the preference for artists from other areas due to pending trials, like the YSL trial. This was highlighted by a bank campaign in Atlanta that struggled to find artists without a criminal record.
