Noisey, VICE's music channel, today presents Part Eight of Noisey Atlanta, an all-access pass into the complex and thriving Atlanta rap scene. In this episode, we examine just how quickly the ups and downs can happen in the trap world. In short, the scene moves fast.

To start things off, we meet Bankroll Fresh at a barbershop and talk about the rise of his late summer 2014 hit "Hot Boy." Then we find ourselves in the studio with the elusive Young Thug before linking with Rich Homie Quan, who tells stories of getting out of jail and eventually forming Rich Gang with Birdman and Thugger (fun fact: RHQ and Young Thug apparently went to middle school together). Later, we catch up with Trinidad Jame$ over a year after the explosion of "All Gold Everything," showing what can possibly happen to a hyped up rapper after the machine spits 'em out.
