Description: Painted by hand with acrylic paint and detail brushes, the Atlanta Rap Map took over three years to complete. Anything that is included on the map has been literally “put on the map” by being mentioned in a hit song (from classic underground staples, to local hits, to worldwide chart toppers) or an influential album. The research itself took over a year, as older artists were uncovered, and hundreds of albums were listened through in their entirety. Artists were selected for portraits based on their contribution to the genre, overall influence, and popularity/reach. The print itself measures 24” x 36”.The map was created to be a gift to the city, and a way of honoring and documenting all the contributors to a living, breathing, vibrant culture. A portion of the proceeds from the sale of the poster will be donated to HOPE Atlanta, to help Georgians avoid homelessness and hunger through a comprehensive approach that equips them with the tools for lifelong stability. Since its release, the Atlanta Rap Map has been acquired by the Library of Congress permanent archive, the American Geographical Society Library, and the permanent collections of University libraries/archives across the country. The original painting has been exhibited at the High Museum of Art in Atlanta, the Georgia State University Library, the National Black Arts Festival, the exhibition for the inauguration of Mayor Andre Dickens, and a documentary premier by the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, as well as being selected by the Society of Illustration and American Illustration for their yearly competitions. It was chosen by Atlanta Magazine as "Best of Atlanta," and featured in an interview on the NPR show "City Lights." The map has been shared online by artists including Quavo, Big Gipp, Lil Scrappy, Trillville, Crime Mob, YoungBloodz, and Arrested Development. The poster is shipped rolled in a heavy duty carboard tube and includes an informational booklet and Veazey Studio sticker.
