How Atlanta's Music Scene Was Built: LaFace Records, So So Def, 90's R&B (Part 1)

Atlanta wasn’t always known as the music capital it is today. In the early 1990s, a new generation of producers, executives, and artists helped build a sound that would change R&B and hip-hop forever. In part 1 of this documentary, we explore how LaFace Records and So So Def Recordings helped transform Atlanta into a global music powerhouse. Visionaries like L.A. Reid, Babyface, Jermaine Dupri, and Dallas Austin helped introduce the world to artists such as TLC, Xscape, Toni Braxton, and Another Bad Creation, creating a wave of 90s R&B and hip-hop that reshaped the industry. From studio sessions to chart-topping hits, this story looks at how Atlanta’s music scene was built—and how the city became one of the most influential music hubs in the world.
