Atlanta, GA GROUP MEMBERS K-Rab, Skeet/A/ Wee, Hard Head (originally from New Orleans) and Young J HEAT IN THE STREETS BHI (The Signature Edition), BHI (30318 Edition) and the 30318 Compilation LABEL Strictly Business/Warner Bros. HIT SINGLE “Do It (The Poole Palace)” BOLD STATEMENT “K-Rab is the originator of the music.” - Hard Head DON’T FIGHT THE FEELING [Skeet-A-Wee]: “The success of us and snap music feels good because it looks like other guys have to use our sound to make it. So it don’t make me feel like they biting, it make me feel like these niggas gotta be like us to compete and get in the game.” [Hard Head]: “I wouldn’t hate on another mans opportunity, though. What ever you can get out of your opportunity, get the best result you can get.” DID YOU HEAR THAT? [Skeet-A-Wee]: “I remember when K-Rab did his first snap beat. We was chilling listening to music. I’ma old school/new school fool. I put on some O’Jays and it had some snaps in it. K-Rab went in the back and next thing I know he made a beat with some snaps in it. I thought that shit was hard as hell. Then we hooked up with D4L for a minute and did the ‘Laffy Taffy’ thing. And we just went from there.” [Hard Head]: “Keep in mind that this was way before the snap movement that you see right now.” LET THE GOOD TIMES ROLL [Skeet-A-Wee]: “That’s what we try to do, make folks have a good time. All of us came from the hood. I used to rob and steal from people. People expected me to come out rapping hard. But I’m rapping about having a good time. I’m trying to change my image. I’m not trying to be that old fool no more.” [Hard Head]: “Being from New Orleans, I came to ATL to escape, but it was the same thing. The hood is universal. But it ain’t all about killing and fussing. Why would you want to hear about it constantly if you’re living in it? We trying to help folks escape.” [Skeet]: “Plus that shit is incriminating [laughs].” BEST OF BOTH HOODS [Hard Head]: “New Orleans is known for bounce music so I bring that influence. Me and K-Rab came up with the “Do It” song and that has a little New Orleans Hip Hop on it. I had to bring home with me, 7th Ward all day. It’s new New Atlanta for me.” [Skeet]: “Naw, its still the A [laughs].” - Maurice G. Garland
