The seasons sneak peak took me back to the 99-2000s era. It’s amazing how time flies after following the careers of the cast members’ parents, siblings, and mentors. “Growing Up Hip Hop Atlanta” exemplifies how the music industry continues to connect artists generation after generation. As cast member Brandon Barnes stated during the Q&A with Ebony Steele, the reality is they all work hard and nothing is handed to them and viewers will see that hard work reflected during this season.
