In this episode of The Makers of MidCity, we sit down with Huntsville native and Atlanta-based hip-hop artist Translee to talk about his journey in music, his deep roots in the 256, and how the local creative scene continues to evolve. From his early days growing up in Huntsville to being signed by T.I.’s label, Translee shares how the city shaped his sound and how today’s artists no longer have to leave home to make an impact.
We also explore his involvement with MidCity and The Camp, the growing role of art and music as economic drivers for the city, and how artist-driven feedback is shaping the design of Camp 2.0. Plus, Translee gives us a behind-the-scenes look at his new album Forever in Our Hearts — an intentional project highlighting Huntsville talent and paying homage to the city that raised him.
Listen in as we discuss:
The evolution of Huntsville’s hip-hop scene
How venues like The Camp are creating space for emerging artists
The importance of local collaboration in venue design
Why Forever in Our Hearts is a love letter to Huntsville
