I’ve been noticing a lot of the major blogs don’t really show love to the “other” Atlanta artists, or if they do it’s a one time thing and then you never hear from them again. I already featured Atlanta based Proton on the site, but it was just one track and I know you want more from them anyways :)

In a period where downloads and piracy threaten an artist’s livelihood, PROTON has developed a rather progressive outlook on the music industry. It is their philosophy that during such a time, diversity and unpredictability, which formerly were considered weaknesses, are their greatest assets. Their sound is primarily based in hip-hop music, but is diversified by electronic, rock, and alternative influences; fitting ingredients, considering their sole proclamation is not to bring ‘real’ hip-hop back, but to push it forward.

That paragraph alone is sick.

With that being said pleeease take a listen to one of my favorite songs right now…and check out the other two tracks from Proton as well. Check them out at I Hate Proton and listen to the tracks on their Myspace.
