Old Fourth Ward in Atlanta means a lot of things to a lot of people. It’s a historically Black neighborhood home to Martin Luther King Jr.’s birthplace and other landmarks. Some know it for the bustling nightlife scene on Edgewood Avenue. While today many associate it with the beloved—and recently transformed—Ponce City Market.
But to Atlanta-based artist FRKO, Old Fourth Ward is where he started his family and says he truly became a man.
