D.R.E.S. tha Beatnik Creator & Host of The World Famous Mic Club says, "The World Famous Mic Club has been an essential keystone in the development of the Atlanta Underground Hip Hop Community for over 6 Years, we’ve overcome a number of tremendous obstacles to make the Show among Atlanta & the Nation’s Elite Live Events and have done it consistently with a record of 336 Consecutive Shows." He further goes on to say, "We took our Record and reputation for Excellence to the negotiation table and proposed a deal that would keep both sides happy as we move forward. However, the Ownership of the Apache Café didn’t think that Mutual growth was in their best interest by insulting the process and the Personnel behind it. We felt that it was time to take our show to bigger and better heights."
