"Welcome to Atlanta" is a song by American rapper Jermaine Dupri featuring Ludacris. It was released on May 14, 2002 as the second single from Dupri's 2001 album Instructions, and appeared as a hidden track on Ludacris' second album, Word of Mouf.^[1] The song praises Dupri and Ludacris' hometown of Atlanta, Georgia.
