Early life ATL attributes his interest in hip-hop to both of his parents, noting that his mother would often play 2Pac around the house. As he grew older, he took a serious interest in music, along with a friend, King J, who was a rapper. ATL created a recording studio in his family's basement and started to record CDs to sell at school. Upon graduating from Redan High School in Atlanta, Scotty attended Savannah State University to play basketball. He rededicated himself to music and, as part of the group Monopoly Fleet that he had formed in high school, released an album titled 2339 Underground Boyz. While still in college, Scotty and Monopoly Fleet signed a record deal following the release of 2339 Underground Boyz and began traveling from Atlanta to Savannah to focus on recording a new album, though the deal ultimately fell through
