300 Busted In National Drug Raid 38 Of Them Were Here In The ATL
The biggest drug bust in the ATL since BMF!!!!
I thought after the BMF raid that happened 5 years ago, this would be the last of any type of major drug cartel showing it’s face in the ATL. Well that couldn’t be further from the truth. It seems the Mexican drug cartel had it’s root heavy in the ATL market right up underneath our noses.
More than 300 people were arrested nationwide Wednesday, including 38 in metro Atlanta, in the largest-ever enforcement operation against a Mexican drug cartel, authorities said. The operation dealt a severe blow to La Familia Michoacana, often called La Familia, a drug trafficking organization responsible for the murders of Mexican police officers as well as kidnappings and assaults, authorities said.
Gwinnett County police officers raided 10 locations in that county alone. At a house in Lawrenceville — a “conversion laboratory” where La Familia members worked — authorities said they recovered 174 pounds of crystal meth.
Authorities seized 17 kilos of cocaine, 13 weapons and $50,000 in the raids across metro Atlanta.
Agents also raided locations in Dallas, New York, Boston and in California, North Carolina, South Carolina and Tennessee.
“La Familia’s leadership here is out of business today,” Rodney Benson, special agent in charge of the DEA’s Atlanta Field Division, said at a press conference at the Gwinnett courthouse.

Swazy Baby should be commended. While other up and coming artists are busy trying to bury their underground past, Swazy Baby continues to capitalize on his. And why not? It was using mixtapes as a way to build his buzz up intially, Swazy caught the eye of Bigga Rankin.
Clicking up with B-Rich and TJ Chapman, B.o.B was able to turn his underground success into a deal with Atlantic Records.After a slew of critically acclaimed mixtapes, cross-country tours and commercial placements B.o.B still has that spark in his eyes and energy in his voice that he did when I first saw him on stage.
The 90’s was great era for hip-hop but it was equally great for R&B. Many acts have come and go since then, but the foursome of Jagged Edge has seemed to have staying power. Since their dropping their debut single "The Way That You Talk" back in 1997, JE has been a regular site on the R&B scene. 
C-Ride is used to the spotlight, even if you’re not used to his name yet. The Florida representor has been a staple of the Epidemic Music/Polo Grounds team for years now. After making a name for himself on the underground, he’s ready to make his presence known in the mainstream.
"I aint never left the scene! I’m always grinding." Bold words like that are normally served for underground artists still trying to get their buzz up. You wouldn't expect an artists who has signed to major deals, posted hit records and has sold units to still speak about grinding it out. But Yo Gotti isn't the average artist
