HR 2095: Dem Franchize Boyz; significant contributions to Atlanta's musical culture and their role in popularizing snap music; commend

This is a ceremonial resolution from the Georgia House of Representatives, not a change to state law. It honors Dem Franchize Boyz, a group made up of members Parlae, Pimpin', Jizzal Man, and Buddie, for emerging from Atlanta's Westside music scene and helping popularize snap music with hits like 'White Tee' and 'Lean wit It, Rock wit It.' The resolution recounts Atlanta's history as a hub for hip-hop innovation, credits neighborhoods like Bankhead and institutions like Frederick Douglass High School with nurturing the group's talent, and states that the snap music movement influenced Southern hip-hop and dance culture nationwide. It directs the Clerk of the House to prepare a copy of the resolution for the group.
