    The reason for the heat is because of all the Atlanta artists that have charted not just in recent years, but over the past two decades!

    Here are the Atlanta artists with new music

    Now, there is a whole crop of new Atlanta artists with new music for the times. You can hear it on the streets, in the cars and in the clubs.

  • LHHATL: Kirk And Rasheeda Marriage plotline

    LHHATL: Here’s The Complete Kirk And Rasheeda Marriage Storyline

    4 Min Read

    One of the most intriguing and enduring plotlines in all of reality TV is the trials and tribulations of Kirk and Rasheeda Frost of “Love and Hip Hop: Atlanta.”

    In the span of a couple years, the couple have had to deal with fame, celebrity, infidelity and even a new baby outside of the marriage.

    Kirk & Rasheeda: A Love & Hip Hop Atlanta timeline

    Kirk and Rasheeda were pretty much like any other couple on “Love and Hip Hop: Atlanta” when they first appeared on the show.

    Then one episode, things got interesting when Kirk started hanging out with Benzino. The next thing you know he was in a hot tub with a few women, one in particular who seemed to relish the attention.

    LHHATL: Kirk And Rasheeda Marriage storyline

    This plotline played out for a whole season and even carried on into the next one, until there were more inklings of cheating from Kirk.

    After hanging out with Yung Joc at a bar / club, a young woman claimed to be pregnant with his child. And that became the #1 plotline on #LHHATL.

    “What happened at the lake? What do I need to know about?” Rasheeda asked him. “I was drunk,” Kirk responded.

    LHHATL: Kirk And Rasheeda Marriage storyline

    “So you really think this was worth it?” Rasheeda said, herself wholly pregnant.

    “Be gone!” she said. And things got to their worst point.

    Here is how it all played out on Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta:

    In the midst of all this, baby Carter is born. Rasheeda’s newborn puts her in a mood to reconcile for the sake of her family.

    But then Kirk goes and does a DNA test behind Rasheeda’s back.

    “How dare you question my loyalty. I’m over Kirk,” she said. For Kirk’s part, he acknowledges that things have been a little cold at home.

    LHHATL: Kirk And Rasheeda Marriage storyline

    After a while, Kirk knows that he has put his wife through a lot with all the Ashley Nicole drama. But he aims to make it up to her with a new store in Lenox Square mall.

    But Kirk starts trippin’ again. This time, baby drama comes up when another girl says she’s pregnant with his baby.

    Jasmine lets the cat out of the bag and the confrontation goes down with Yung Joc and Karlie Redd. Karlie then takes it upon herself to meet up with her.

    “He moved her into ya’ll’s old building. She’s met Carter and she’s hung out with y’all’s family,” Karlie told Rasheeda.

    Of course, Kirk denies it all.

    The drama is thick! But then Rasheeda and Jazmine get to talk in the club. Jasmine told her: “I didn’t know what I was destroying … I’ll be the first to say that I wish I would have never did that.”

    After the hurt feelings, subsided Kirk and Rasheeda decided to keep rocking. And the show got better.


    For the new season, Rasheeda came clean with a shocker: She had cheated on Kirk.

    The other castmates seem surprised by this, but Rasheeda lets them know that it was a one-time thing and that she and Kirk were good.

    Watch: Rasheeda says she cheated on Kirk

    Atlanta reality TV shows showcase the best and worst of the city, but they have a following unlike anything we’ve seen in modern times.

    TV executive Mona Scott has created an urban juggernaut that is single-handedly keeping VH1 afloat.

    On Bravo, the “Real Housewives of Atlanta” franchise continues to be a perennial winner among millennials. The bottom line is that people want to see Atlanta on TV.
