The Alliance

Emerging as fresh talents in Atlanta during 2007, the Alliance quickly distinguished themselves from rival club tracks that season thanks to the successful single "Tatoo," which featured D4L's Fabo. Before coming together, the four members—rappers Blackout, Skinny, and Bliss along with producer Ty-Cutta—had each worked independently, building experience across the city's club venues and open-mike events. Once Bliss linked up with the remaining trio, they concluded that pursuing visibility together would provide stronger prospects than continuing as solo acts. After issuing the "Tatoo" single on the local imprint Nothin Comz Eazy Records, Asylum/Warner signed the group and released their full-length Goin Digital in fall 2007.
