THIS PEROID OF TIME IS THE MOST IMPORTANT TIME OF MACON'S HIP HOP SCEENE BECAUSE THIS IS WHEN THE MAC TOWN SOUND WAS INVENTED AND AT THE WHEEL OF THE WHOLE MOVEMENT WAS JOHN AYMOS. GROUPS SUCH AS GHPP, OMC. BLACK FLAME AND LOCCISH LIFESTYLE (R.I.P HENRY "POOKIE LOCC" CLARK) BEGAN TO SPREAD THE MUSIC. ONE OF JOHN'S PERSONAL FRIENDS (MORE LIKE BROTHER) SONNY SPOON AND LIL' J (YA'LL MAY KNOW HIM AS YOUNG JEEZY) WERE ALSO ON THE RISE WITH A SLEW OF LOCAL HITS AND A REGIONAL BUZZ GROWING.
