And going back to it like we never left

Setting up shop in Atlanta, GRC-HOTLANTA is a lost treasure trove of vault material. Label material that never got even to see the light of day due to the federal investigation of the owner -Michael Thevis

High quality southern soul utilizing great session house band musicians, lush strings, strong brass presence and of course some of the best sangers you could ask for in music.

Michael Thevis (you can't make this GTA ATL name up) was known as Sultan of Smut & had a mansion built in Atlanta called "Lionsgate Mansion" based on a 100 million dollar empire created on adult entertainment. This mansion was also owned by Whitney & Bobby Brown. Thevis is known for killing a competitor with a pipe bomb. And it just gets crazier from there when he gets hit with the RICO.

if you want to listen more to the background of the owner of this label, there is a podcast series I found on Michael Thevis's life.

if I missed anyone or anyone wants to be @'d to the list, let me know.

You don't have to ask- because more will be otw.

The Sultan of Smut He killed somebody with a pipe bomb wtf

In. This is interesting. I'll give it a listen

@op another hard one

I had to look who Thevis was. The label didn't want to tell the background of the founder of the label. it just said he was incarcerated.

Tbh, I wouldn't either. he killed multiple people because they were in the same business. That's good for a gangsta rap label but not a soul label.

But kinda happy ending that he rotted in prison for 30 years and bobby & Whitney bought his house

it’s a new drop

comes with art scans and liner notes , although the scans i found are blurry a bit. Not sure what you can do about that, you might be able to clear it up.

But in any event, here it is 😎

new drop today

I’ve been lacking on my content in this area. i have to do 3 or 4 this week

But until then, grab hotlanta
