Near the intersection of Headland and Delowe Drives in East Point, a white enclosed tent stands on the former site of Delowe Garden Apartments. 

Here Rico Wade laid the foundation of his transformative success in hip-hop. Wade later created the “The Dungeon,” a recording studio in the basement of his mom’s home in Lakewood Terrance.
