In plain language
This resolution is a ceremonial statement from the Georgia Senate honoring Trillville, a hip-hop group formed in Atlanta in 2002. It recounts the group's history, from its members meeting in high school to signing with BME Recordings, and highlights their commercial success, including the single "Neva Eva," the album The King of Crunk & BME Recordings Present: Trillville & Lil Scrappy, and the platinum hit "Some Cut." The resolution does not create any new law, funding, or requirement. It simply states the Senate's recognition of Trillville's cultural impact on Southern hip-hop and directs the Secretary of the Senate to prepare a copy of the resolution for distribution to the group.
