Last action March 18, 2026 · House Read and Adopted
A Georgia House resolution formally commends the Atlanta hip-hop group Trillville for its role in shaping Southern hip-hop and the crunk music era.
In plain language
This is a ceremonial resolution from the Georgia House of Representatives, not a law that changes anyone's rights or obligations. It recognizes the hip-hop group Trillville, formed in 2002 in Atlanta, for its contributions to hip-hop music and culture. The resolution recounts the group's history, including its formation, its signing to BME Recordings with help from Lil Jon, and the success of songs like 'Neva Eva' and 'Some Cut,' which reached national charts and later influenced other major artists. It concludes by having the House formally commend Trillville and directs the Clerk of the House to prepare a copy of the resolution for the group.
