Untouchablez Inc.

Pioneering '90s era rap group that blazed the trail for hardcore hip hop in Atlanta. Hailing from College Park in southwest ATL, the Untouchablez were the first to label their music "trap music". As a matter of fact, it would be extremely hard to even to find the word "trap" in anything that pre dates the Untouchablez. Heavily burdened by legal and street issues, and ostrasized by radio for glorifying trap life so soon after the loss of Tupac and Biggie, the Untouchablez found themselves largely absent from radio and banned from most public venues in the Atlanta area. Yet and still, the group remained a staple in the cd players and tape decks of a faithful underground following that stretched from Maryland to Los Angeles. Ludacris, T.I., YoungBloodz, Outkast, Sammie Sam, and other ATL celebs kept close ties with Untouchablez Inc. out of mutual respect and love for their "work" on the Southside. Introducing to some and reuniting with others, the "Kings of the Swats", the Untouchablez.
Started in 1994 by Jonnie Arnold, a University of Georgia student/athelete from College Park, when he introduced Frank Nitti to the Bad Seeds and the College Park Terrorists. Members of these three families became one and united under the banner Untouchablez Inc. Members included Frank Nitti, Da Snipa, Capone, Smack, Deuce Deuce (R.I.P.), and Savannah Joe (aka Josey Wales).
