Statlanta is the debut studio album by Atlanta rapper Stat Quo. First recorded and set to be released in 2003, under Shady Records, Aftermath Entertainment and Interscope Records with mentors Eminem and Dr. Dre as executive producers, it was reworked in seven years not featuring any of the original material recordings, and was released on July 13, 2010 under Sha Money XL's Dream Big Ventures label after many push-backs.

Statlanta debuted at #85 on Billboard's Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart.

Background

In a 2017 interview with HipHopDX, Stat Quo said that Statlanta was not released through Shady/Aftermath due to an argument he had with Eminem over a song called "Dance on It". Eminem had written a chorus for Stat Quo to perform, but Stat Quo did not think it was good and told Eminem that he would only release the song in exchange for a million dollars. He said this made Eminem "mad as shit". While Stat Quo apologized the next day and the two recorded "Syllables" with Jay-Z, Dr. Dre, 50 Cent, and Cashis, their relationship did not recover: "We did that song right after my long apology. I was like, 'Oh, we cool; he put me on a song with Jay-Z.' But no, he was not cool [with me after that]."

Production and guests

Statlanta features production from Sha Money XL, Needlz, S1, Boi-1da, Stat Quo himself, among others. Featured guests include Marsha Ambrosius, Antonio McLendon, Brevi, Esthero, Raheem DeVaughn, Devin the Dude, and Talib Kweli. Former mentor Dr. Dre was involved since the recording process, and served as production consultant-supervisor, he helped Stat Quo along with Aftermath producer Mike Chav to materialize the album.

Two leftover tracks featuring Eminem, titled "Atlanta On Fire" (also known as "The Next One") and "Classic Shit" (also known as "Testify") have been leaked to the internet.
