ATLANTA -- An Atlanta rapper will soon trade the concert stage for a courtroom stand.

Rapper Yung Joc, whose real name is Jasiel Robinson, is set to begin a trial Monday at the Fulton County Courthouse.

Robinson and a company called "Stereotypes" are in fraud and contract disputes.

The case surrounds the installation of high-end stereo equipment in Robinson's car.

The company claimed Robinson did not pay the total for the services provided, nearly $25,000.
