- Lululemon may be the new Polo. But besides that, Atlanta rap sounded ripped off DatPiff like it was 2009 again. My latest is about the larger significance of this nostalgia - how it helped a scene move on from major losses, and made a case for Skooly as a pioneer: www.complex.com/music/a/mina...

- Department Store was supposed to be a live jazz bar. Instead, it launched the next generation of rap, as a pit stop for 21 Savage and Playboi Carti, where you'd see Earthgang, OG Maco and Bankroll Fresh take off. Episode 7 of #AtlantaIs, hosted by me, is out now: www.iheart.com/podcast/1119...

- Shoutout to @wabe.org for having me, Maurice Garland and @jewelwickershow.bsky.social on to talk #AtlantaIs not once, but twice. Earlier this week, Maurice and I taped the live season finale of What's Good, Atlanta? with comedy legends David Purdue and Mark Kendall. omny.fm/shows/whats-...
- Previously, the incomparable Rose Scott had us on air to officially lobby for a season 2. We're just saying. www.wabe.org/atlanta-is-p...
- Until then, episode 6 — about Atlanta's reputation as a Black mecca, and how Peters Street both reinforces and complicates that reputation — is out now, and hosted by Maurice Garland, because of course: www.iheart.com/podcast/1119...
- Don’t waste your time with AI slop. These albums have what you’ve been searching for, and more, this whole year. This year, @bittersouth.bsky.social tapped me to write about the best Southern music of 2025. Check it out, and let me know your top five, ten, 20. bittersoutherner.com/best-souther...

[She] joined AIR because [she] has show ideas of [her] own and wants to learn how to bring them to life."
- By Andre 3000's Source Awards speech in 1995, Atlanta's first 24-hour rap station was just getting started—in a city that was scared to play rap for even an hour. How did Hot 97.5 stand a chance? Ep. 1 of #AtlantaIs talks to the folks who put up a good fight, including some intern named Ludacris.

- This also means that for the first time in a year, I'm available for new projects and clients. Would love to chat about how we can make more cool shit together. www.christinalee.me
- For the past year, I've been working on a show about the city I call home. That show is called "Atlanta Is...," and it is a truly stacked production ... starting with who's narrating our trailer: www.iheart.com/podcast/1119...

- My friends at documentary studio Rap Portraits have been putting out a zine that features an essay by music journalist Yoh and reader submissions that are equally as thoughtful. Literally jumped at the chance to copy edit the latest edition. Read and download it here: rapportraits.substack.com

- How much should a cup of coffee cost in the age of climate change, supply chain issues, and likely tariffs? I asked Atlanta roasters Portrait Coffee and Tanbrown Coffee for the Cost of Living Project and @canopyatl.bsky.social www.costoflivingatl.org/post/this-is...
- Two entertainment profiles I would have loved to see from Atlanta publications: the TV return of people's champ Nicole Paige Brooks, and how Le Castle Vania went from MJQ to John Wick (and now Ballerina)

- Looking to speak to someone in Atlanta who's had to change their coffee-buying habits amid recent price increases. Let me know if that's you -- would love to chat for a story!
- Oh wow. Bottom of the Map --- and with that, my career in podcasting --- would never have existed, had City Lights not invited me and Regina on to talk Childish Gambino's "This is America." Grateful to the OG Lois Reitzes and the 45 years she's been on the air. www.wabe.org/wabes-lois-r...

- Reposted by Christina LeeAbsolutely! I have proudly supported my local groceries and bakeries. There are also plenty of little mom and pop shops that sell everything else I need/don't need. Buy local! Support small business. Let the big boys suffer until they decide to play nicely with us.
- Lately (and not just because of Target ending DEI efforts), I've been so grateful that here in Atlanta, I can support small businesses to meet basic and not-so-basic needs. Some of my favorites:
- True story: One year I bought a coffee subscription that featured coffees from across the country. Our favorite just so happened to be made down the street from us. If you're not buying your beans from Portrait Coffee you're missing out. portrait.coffee
- Having a refill shop with toiletries and cleaning products like atlo (www.helloatlo.com), and a market with bulk spices and herbs like Sevananda (shop.sevananda.coop), allows me to be mindful of waste without sacrificing convenience.
