This week’s episode of the Baller Alert Show brought together three dynamic figures in Atlanta’s culture—NuFace, DJ Kash, and Scotty ATL—for an unforgettable conversation about the city’s impact on music, nightlife, and beyond.
NuFace, known as Atlanta’s culture historian, shared how he’s celebrated the evolution of Atlanta’s music and nightlife from the days of Freaknik to the rise of trap and crunk music. Originally from Detroit, he credited Atlanta for adopting him and inspiring his mission to elevate and celebrate the city’s unique cultural contributions.
DJ Kash, the self-proclaimed “Fly Haitian Kid” and a veteran DJ, reminisced about his two decades of rocking Atlanta’s hottest clubs and radio waves. He gave insight into how Atlanta has shifted from traditional mega-clubs to niche parties like his Afrobeat-infused Amapiano events, proving the city’s ability to redefine the party scene.
Scotty ATL, a rapper and owner of Grills by Scotty, brought his Eastside energy to the table. He highlighted how his entrepreneurial journey—making grills for stars like Megan Thee Stallion and Issa Rae—intersects with Atlanta’s creative vibe. Scotty also gave props to the city’s shift towards intimate, curated nightlife experiences like R&B parties, which are now inspiring scenes nationwide.
The group reflected on Atlanta’s role as a cultural trailblazer, discussing how the city leads movements in music genres, from R&B-only parties to Amapiano beats. They also touched on the importance of preserving authenticity and avoiding the pitfalls of chasing trends over creating meaningful connections.
The show wrapped up with a lively debate about Atlanta’s top malls and wing spots (with Magic City wings earning unanimous praise).
