In plain language
This resolution is a ceremonial statement from the Georgia House of Representatives, not a change to state law. It recounts the history of Trillville, a hip-hop group formed in Atlanta in 2002, describing its founding members, its rise with hits like "Neva Eva" and "Some Cut," and its influence on later artists. The resolution formally commends Trillville for its contributions to the music industry and to Atlanta's standing as a major hip-hop city. It directs the Clerk of the House of Representatives to prepare a copy of the resolution for distribution to the group. It creates no new rules, funding, or penalties.
