Chronicle Books will publish Atlanta, the new book from acclaimed photographer/director/author Michael Schmelling, on November 1st. Atlanta evokes the incredible diversity of the city’s hip-hop scene, capturing the lives of everyone from up-and-coming rappers to club kids to multi-Platinum artists. It also includes a series of insightful essays by The New Yorker’s Kelefa Sanneh. Exclusive interviews with key figures like André 3000, Big Boi, Gucci Mane, Ludacris, Shawty Lo, and The-Dream were conducted by Will Welch, an associate editor at GQ.
Each book will contain a code enabling readers to download a mixtape of tracks from many of the unsigned musicians featured in Atlanta, including Travis Porter, 3rd Degree, Pill, Lil Texas (who is the subject of the striking cover image) and Them Concrete Boyz.
