Contrary to those whose only sources of music information are radio and music television, modern-day Atlanta hip-hop is not all crunk, trap, and snap music. Below the chart hits lies a thriving underground scene fueled by lyrically-focused emcees like Booth newcomer Stanza. On the newly-released ATL (A Town Love), the emcee takes the opportunity to show us around his hometown. If you can get past his vocal similarities to the wealthiest man in hip-hop, Stanza’s guided tour is sure to please; covering everything from the Buckhead neighborhood’s ESPN Zone and Hole in the Wall to memories of the ‘96 Olympics, he explains that, though he’s proud of his hometown’s climb to world-class status, he can’t help but miss the more “street” atmosphere that defined Atlanta’s past. Complete with an orchestral beat by DJ Teknology, ATL (A Town Love) has already picked up considerable positive feedback from industry heads; there’s no reason to think this acclaim can’t continue in the Booth.

Burmy thinks Stanza sounds like HOVA. I think this record sounds Blueprint-Era Kanye-esque. I like what he has to say over some solid production from Teknology (who I am embarrassed to say I have never heard of before).
Nice Booth debut...

I thought this track was decent. The production was good and Stanza wasn't bad at all (I thought he sounded a little like HOVA too). Lookin out for him in the future.

Very cool track here, his voice is HOVA-esque and the beat does sound like something Kanye would have cooked up. Notice how those are both GOOD things... yea he'll need to separate himself from the jigga man if he wants to get big, but this is a good start.

WOW Z and Burmy! I said to myself he also sounds like Jay-Z in the beginning of the track! I think his flow sounds more like a Lupe type of style. It has a nice laid back sound to it. The lyrics are cool. No complaints here! Definitely not the run-of-the-mill ATL dude!

I quote DJspinz, it seems a Kanye West track...above all the background sample, it's typically his! It's not my cup of tea but this is solid, his flow and voice are great and also the beat. The hook is so and so, but it's an overall great work
