A.T.C.
A.T.C. (A Touch of Class), a pivotal hip-hop trio hailing from Hunter’s Point in San Francisco, California, emerged as a fresh force in the mid-1980s hip-hop scene. The group, composed of M.C.G. (G. Lawrence), J.M.C. (J. King), and D.J.T., made significant waves with their unique blend of beats and rhymes. Known for their single and EP distributed through the West Coast independent label Macola Records, A.T.C. carved a niche in the evolving landscape of hip-hop.
Their collaboration with upcoming Bay Area rapper Paris, who established his production sound with the group, marked a noteworthy chapter in their artistic journey. A.T.C.’s releases, rostered on Paris’s grassroots label Scarface Records, showcased a blend of raw energy and innovative storytelling, reflecting the vibrant and diverse cultural backdrop of San Francisco.
Though their time in the spotlight was brief, A.T.C.’s impact on the hip-hop genre was indelible. They left a legacy of creativity and style that resonated well beyond their active years, making them an integral part of West Coast hip-hop history.
