Coalition DJs have long been a staple of Atlanta’s strip club music scene. Over the last decade they’ve broken records to the masses by everyone from 2 Chainz, Future, and Young Jeezy to Travis Porter, Waka Flocka, Gucci Mane, T.I., and B.o.B, one table dance at a time. The gentleman’s club regulars have a new name on their list: On March 1, the collective presented Columbus, Ohio native Blu Denim with his new track, “Alligator.” The song feels right at home amid the Coalition’s brother-in-arms hip-hop mantra. Sporting smooth beats and smoother verses with a healthy serving of Auto-Tune, the song rolls just right on the ears. Produced by Alex Petit, “Alligator” offers a taste of Blu Denim’s upcoming mixtape.

Blu Denim, despite growing up outside Atlanta, is no stranger to the struggles many of the Coalition’s members have faced. Through his want of a better life, Blu Denim has been to the street and back, ready and able to drop his own brand of hip-hop onto the masses.
