Most folks don’t think about hip-hop when they think about Alpharetta.
Tech companies, the Avalon, North Point Mall and good schools typically come to mind before rap references.
But there’s a few MC’s out there who thought this North Fulton city had enough swag to name drop it in a rhyme.
Here’s five times where rappers have mentioned the growing north of Atlanta suburb in a song:
Song: "Trump"
Artist: Young Jeezy
Album: "The Real Is Back 2" (2011)
Got a hundred put away for my lawyer fee. That's a hundred for the case: guess the lawyer was free. I'm into big boy salary it got hundreds in it. My new crib in Alpharetta, it got hundreds in it. Felt sorry for my maid, I gave that girl a raise. She say you got too many chains, I be cleaning for days.

We stomp you like the q-dogs, aka Alpha Kalpa. Gambling with a pool shark. Find yo body in Alpharetta. College Campus Kush Pack, three blunts make the party start. Don’t make me stop burning kush then start burning your body parts.

I feel like them Jordans, white and black 11’s. It's (expletive) up you even got to patent leather I'm a alpha, got a castle out in Alpharetta. Shawty want to kick it but I'm not Kubota. But I rather get this money, baby, now or never. Everyday I'm trying to at least make a stack or better.
