I just through DMV in there cause I don't know that area...it's all connected to an outsider...

That shyt is still wild tho...that's like if South Florida by itself produced that crazy fukking lineup of talent.

We'd be seen as a hotbed for GOATness yet VA don't seem to have that rep

That's not the DMV..

This is the DMV

RAS NEBYU

Ethiopian-American Ras Nebyu refuses to be boxed in as a run-of-the-mill conscious rapper, although he was raised in a Rastafarian household in Northwest DC and is both assuredly brilliant and unafraid to show it. A member of the Washington Slizzards crew, he adds layers to his music by employing varied, often melodic styles of delivery and rapping over pretty much whatever type of beat he pleases. He has graced the stages of some of DC’s staple festivals—Trillectro and Broccoli City—and opened for the likes of Vince Staples, Nipsey Hussle, and Wale. A gem among many rocks, his deftness has made him a well-respected artist to emerge from the scene.

Jodeci was from north carolina tho

Only half of them.




Plus. U dont get 2 rep a Place u aint from. fukk all of dat. If u was raised in Mississippi all ya life and then u move 2 Atlanta and u blow up a year or two later, u dont get 2 rep Atlanta. nikka u from Mississippi



And thats the case wit Jodeci. Dalvin and DeVante was from VA, K-Ci and Jojo I believe were from Carolina.


Dalvin and DeVante get some traction musically and move 2 North Carolina, they do a few shows and then they move to New York.



End of story

"DMV" is some shyt bamma ass nikkas from NOVA & Mo County (Maryland) came up with so they can feel important...doesn't apply to Southern VA and DC & PG nikkas don't claim that shyt.

They influenced her way too heavy to leave her out
