Coming from the west side of Atlanta, Dem Franchize Boyz hit the scene hard with their breakout summer single "White Tees." After working independently, building a rep and putting out their own independent albums, the group was picked up by Universal/Motown, who released their self-titled first LP in the fall of 2004. Not quite as hyper as many of their ATLien peers, they blend the South's trademark crunk sound with mellower funk backdrops.
