DJ Cannon On the South's Influence on Hip Hop

DimeWars recently hung out with Dj Cannon at Sk8tique, his new boarder boutique in the Little 5 Points neighborhood of Atlanta. In an exclusive, in-depth interview, Cannon broke it down about how the ATL forever changed the sound of hip hop. Collab'ing New York meets Down South with a touch of West Coast is the secret sauce that has made Cannon the mixtape king and the next super producer!

"In order for me to make it, I couldn't go all the way East coast,or all the way West Coast or all South, I gotta match the intensity,and Atlanta helps you with that, because Atlanta is a melting pot.."
