Forever I Love Atlanta Set: Birthday Bash ATL Honors Young Dro, Yung LA & More
Source: ATL Pics / other Birthday Bash ATL 2025 was an unforgettable celebration of Atlanta's legendary Hip-Hop culture.
The biggest moment of the night? No doubt the 'Forever I Love Atlanta' set. It was a full-on tribute to the OGs who laid the foundation for the city's rap game. When Young Dro, Yung LA, Roscoe Dash, and Shop Boyz hit the stage, the whole arena went crazy. ATL showed love, and the legends gave it right back. Roscoe Dash came out first, getting the crowd lit with his classics, followed by Shop Boyz who brought the house down with 'Party Like a Rockstar.'
The real turning point was when Yung LA stepped up and dropped his verse on 'Ain't I.' The second that beat dropped, State Farm Arena sang word.for.word.
Phones were in the air, people rapping every line, the energy was too lit. Then came Young Dro, cool as ever, with that signature polo on, and rocked the stage. Dro kept the momentum rolling, reminding everybody why he's still one of ATL's finest. The whole set was a salute to all the legends that put a stamp in southern Hip-Hop. The 'Forever I Love Atlanta' wasn't just a set name; it really is a lifestyle for those from the Peach State. Birthday Bash ATL 2025 embodied that slogan loud and clear. ATL pulled up for its legends, and the city stood tall.
Being the 29th Birthday Bash, this year was a serious preview of what's to come. With the 30th anniversary on deck in 2026, fans are expecting even more surprises, epic reunions, and historic moments. If this year was fire, next year's gonna be legendary.

[Exclusive] Mariah the Scientist Unveils New Album Details
Source: Reach Media / Radio One Hot 107.9's iconic Birthday Bash 2025 was a night to remember with R&B sensation Mariah the Scientist hitting the stage as a surprise guest. She sat down with DJ Misses for an exclusive interview backstage, and gave listeners a glimpse into her upcoming album and creative process. Mariah's enthusiasm was evident as she revealed, 'This project feels like my best work yet. It's different from anything I've done before.' She also disclosed that for the first time, she crafted some of her songs without instrumentals, building beats around her lyrics later. This shift from her previous process, where she'd often source beats from platforms like YouTube, allowed her to take a more hands-on, intentional approach. READ MORE STORIES When pressed about the release date, Mariah shared an August timeline, hinting at an exciting summer for her fans. While she's still narrowing down a title for the album, her creative indecision only signals the depth of thought she's pouring into the project. 'I don't want to say I'm indecisive,' she laughed, 'but I've been going back and forth. It's hard because this one means so much to me.' DJ Misses couldn't help but get hype about Mariah's hit single 'Burning Blue,' noting how it 'tears the club up' even as a slower track. For Mariah, the night was about more than just teasing new music; it was a celebration of artistry, resilience, and connection. 'I love coming home,' she said. 'Atlanta's energy is unmatched, and being here for Birthday Bash is so special.' Fans can expect an unforgettable album from Mariah the Scientist, packed with heartfelt lyrics, fresh sounds, and the unparalleled authenticity that has made her a standout in R&B.

GloRilla Drops Inspirational Video For 'Rain Down On Me'
Just two days after headlining Hot 107.9's Birthday Bash, GloRilla has dropped the music video for her track, 'Rain Down on Me!' The inspirational offering from her latest album, Glorious , features gospel mainstays Kirk Franklin, Kierra Sheard-Kelly, Chandler Moore, and Maverick City Music. Sampling Franklin's 'Melodies From Heaven,' the track was a surprise hit from Big Glo, landing at #1 on Billboard's Hot Gospel Songs chart in October 2024. It also debuted at #2 on Billboard's Hot Christian Songs chart. The track received renewed interest earlier this month when it won the 'Dr. Bobby Jones Inspirational/Gospel Award' at the 2025 BET Awards. While many fans were happy for her win, there were some gospel purists (including one notable artist) who thought that BET was 'pandering' to the rap audience by giving her the win. Either way, GloRilla has no problems showcasing the various layers of her being and expressing her gratitude for God, and we wouldn't want her to be any other way!
