Before young Atlanta-based producer Metro Boomin became a household meme, he was a Morehouse freshman who traded the books for the boards. After a decade of putting in work, the 23-year-old is proof of Malcolm Gladwell’s 10,000-hours theory and the cover subject of FADER’s producers issue.

Will the Atlanta Braves’ last season at Turner Field go out without a bang? With a 0-7 start and a roster “bereft of talent,” it’s looking that way. 

Former No. 1 morning show king Frank Ski is returning to V-103 after a four-year hiatus from Atlanta radio. He’ll man shifts on Saturday (9 a.m.-2 p.m.) and Sunday (7 p.m.-11 p.m.), while Ryan Cameron and Ski’s old sidekick Wanda continue to hold down the coveted weekday morning slot.

And just in case you ever wondered how much more your $1.8 mil could get you in Kentucky or New Mexico’s real estate market versus Atlanta’s, here’s a random sampling. Cliff’s Notes: about twice as much.
