Atlanta has always been a city with artists that has had strong movements that seemed to willingly put the streets on their backs. Rappers like Young Jeezy, Gucci Mane, Boyz n tha Hood, Shawty Lo and numerous others hold hip-hop down in the city and have transformed it into a breeding ground for great talent. Well if your ears are close to the streets, then you might be familiar with a new movement called Duct Tape Entertainment (DTE), founded by Big Bank Black and Alley Boy.
Hailing out of East Atlanta’s Zone 6, this family owned company has built enough buzz that the two main rappers finalized 50/50 deals with Atlantic in a 3 month span last year, with no Internet buzz or radio airplay. Impressive to say the least. While attaining numerous notable features on songs from Gucci Mane, CTE, Maino, Wacka Flocka and Rocko to name a few, they have also received cosigns from radio DJ’s across the nation. It’s clear that (DTE) is right around the corner from national success with a movement as strong as we have ever seen in Atlanta.
