SAM: An old soul. A stubborn root. The best emcee around and it isn’t close.

Atlanta ain’t got no Beef-a-Roos?
…
Shit.”

“We ain’t from here.
We from God.”

ANA: A beautiful, talented singer. A generous heart. Ready for a new beginning.

“…every place is the same…
I mean like in terms of things that actually matter”

SHANTELL: Acerbic. Driven. Talented emcee.

“But see I don’t get hustled, cause I got game.
Please try to play me, cause I’ma flip that real estate”
