T3 Project represents uncompromising conscious hip-hop in its purest, most confrontational form—music that prioritizes prophetic truth-telling over commercial palatability, that names names and calls out specific evil rather than speaking in generalities.This album will comfort the afflicted and afflict the comfortable, challenging those invested in maintaining illusions of progress and justice.

Celebrating Black music month

Before Atlanta hip-hop had a megaphone, DJ NABS was the signal. From his mix show on V-103 to the launch of Hot 97.5, from Club Kaya's legendary Old Skool Sundays to the stage of the 1992 Dangerous World Tour alongside Michael Jackson and Kris Kross, NABS spent three decades as an essential architect of Southern hip-hop — spinning Southern artists on the radio before the industry acknowledged the South, moving crowds at nightclubs before the scene had a name, and making sure everyone else's moment landed right. In 2019, he turned the tables.
