A quintessential hustler with enough talent to carry the weight of his city on his back and in his name, Scotty ATL makes engaging street tales about the daily grind. Today, Scotty releases Daily Bread, his latest full-length out via his own Cool Club Records, a career highlight about how grief amplifies the impact of everyday struggles. Daily Bread is a cathartic culmination of a rough year for Scotty ATL. While on tour with B.o.B in March, Scotty lost four people close to him in the span of four weeks, including the late Atlanta rapper Bankroll Fresh. Unable to say goodbye to his friends in person, Scotty channeled all of the sweet and sorrowful memories of his friends into Daily Bread. Though Daily Bread touches upon heavy subject matter, it is still an engaging listen, lifted by Scotty’s easy charisma and his determination to live his life and push through his grief. “Some of the greatest rappers told their life stories,” explains Scotty ATL. “That’s what I’m doing. I’m giving people my real life, the good, the bad and the ugly.” With perceptive lyricism and an impressive tonal consistency, Daily Bread is one of Scotty ATL’s most accomplished efforts yet.
