Nuface – Hip-Hop Archivist 

For prominent hip-hop historian and entrepreneur Larry Compton, being a part of a special moment and cherishing those memories are important. Compton, better known as NuFace, has been to almost every major hip-hop event, ceremony, concert, or celebration in Atlanta. From Atlanta hip-hop icons T.I., Ludacris, and Young Jeezy, to legendary groups Outkast, Goodie Mob, and the Dungeon Family, he has special memorabilia and moments from concerts or events that he cherishes in his growing collection.

NuFace brings a special piece of memorabilia or a magazine, CD, or even a tape that celebrates the artist’s career to every concert or event that he has attended. He’s been to more than 1,000 concerts and has thousands of photos, memorabilia, and ticket stubs to prove it. NuFace was there for a Goodie Mob performance at Clark Atlanta University in 1994.

Nuface is featured in the 2023 Atlanta United FC production ‘Inside the 404’, where he talks about his experience with the hip-hop industry and his connection with Atlanta United. ‘Inside the 404’ is a documentary produced by Atlanta United FC in collaboration with Atlanta Influences Everything, as part of the launch of the 404 Kit, Atlanta United’s 2023 third kit.
