SWATS, The S.W.A.T.S. or S.W.A.T.S. ("Southwest Atlanta, too strong")[2][3] is, in street, hip-hop, or local contexts, Southwest Atlanta, plus territory extending into the adjacent cities of College Park and East Point.[citation needed] The term "SWATS" came into vogue around 1996[citation needed] and was initially made popular by LaFace Records groups OutKast and Goodie Mob.[citation needed] This was the same time that "ATL" became popular as a nickname for Atlanta as a whole.[4]
The term is relevant not just as an identifier for Southwest Atlanta but as a cultural icon embedded in rap lyrics and names of musical and other groups, with reference not just to physical place but a culture and lifestyle.
