In Atlanta there is a group of strip-club DJs who essentially decide what the "next big thing" in hip-hop is going to be. Calling themselves the Coalition DJs, they meet each week to decide which songs to promote in the city's many Gentleman's joints and charge the hopeful artists a fee for the exposure. Read More »
