Clark Atlanta University’s marching band performed songs connected to Atlanta producer Rico Wade on Friday outside the church where his private funeral was held. The band performed at Ebenezer Baptist Church, playing songs that included “Waterfalls” by TLC and “Southernplayalisticadillacmuzik” by Outkast, the title track from the duo’s debut album, which was released 30 years ago Friday, in 1994.

The documentary tells the story of Atlanta’s rise as a hip-hop power, at the same time when the city was growing as a political, cultural and business Mecca — especially for Black folks. Four people were chosen to tell this story. All share a deep and passionate love of hip-hop and an equal amount of love for their adopted Atlanta homes.

Long after a Hawks game ends and the fans go home, a different type of team is still hard at work sorting thousands of pounds of waste at State Farm Arena.
