An “impassioned tribute” (Publishers Weekly, starred review) to the most influential music culture today, Atlanta rap a masterful, street-level story of art, money, race, class, and salvation from acclaimed New York Times reporter Joe Coscarelli.
From mansions to trap houses, office buildings to strip clubs, Atlanta is defined by its rap music. But this flashy and fast-paced world is rarely seen below surface level as a collection not of superheroes and villains, cartoons and caricatures, but of flawed and inspired individuals all trying to get a piece of what everyone else seems to have.

But this flashy and fast-paced world is rarely seen below surface level as a collection not of superheroes and villains, cartoons and caricatures, but of flawed and inspired individuals all trying to get a piece of what everyone else seems to have.
In artistic, commercial, and human terms, Atlanta rap represents the most consequential musical ecosystem of this century.
Rap Capital tells the dramatic stories of the people who make it tick and the city that made them that way.
