Currently in heavy rotation is the A-town native Larry and Chicago born Thomasan also known as PROTON – their sound is primarily based in hip-hop music, but is diversified by electronic, rock, and alternative influences giving a well balance harmony between the two. Don’t be mistaken by first impressions for sounds of Andre 3000 or The Cool Kids, the two MCs bring forth a whole new sound that’s fresh, eclectic and positive music for the face of Atlanta. With their latest mixtape album release, “Red & Purple Vol 1″ the duo has caught the attention of many music lovers alike. Get a taste and download Red & Purple Vol 1: featuring Roxy Cottontail, Amanda Diva, Maggie Horn, Muffy, Jessica Tonder, Slick & Rose and many more.

“I think PROTON fills a void in hip hop, like there’s no middle ground. You have either like ghetto shit or you have some real soft shit or you have some extreme backpacker’ish extra hip hop – hip hoppy type stuff. I think we ride the fence between the two worlds of you know the money and the hood.” -Thomasan
