Atlanta along with the South has dominated the mainstream music era since the early 2000s.
On July 4, Authentic Empire Music Group (AEMG) held the biggest independent music festival at Cosmopolitan Premier Lounge in Decatur, GA, .
Over 3000 people attended the event with legendary host Big Tigger bringing out Gucci Mane. Other prolific artists such as Money Mu, YSN, Gabriel Avrett, AG Lotti, Doughboy and Geezy Escobar were apart of the roster’s lineup.
“It was an amazing turnout; another win for independent artists and the culture. IndieFest Atlanta not only offers independent artists a platform to be seen, heard and discovered, but to also rub elbows with other artists, industry executives and fans. There isn’t anything out here like it,” says Boomman. “And I’m making it my mission to take IndieFest all over the world in the hopes of bringing the best indie talent to the mainstream,” per BSO.
This is a big deal and with Indie artists on the rise, AEMG will be the one to thank in the end by showing real talent in the limelight.
