What city do you think has the hottest rap/hiphop scene now?

Right now I think Chicago or L.A. got this

Tyga and YG killin' it for club bangers.

Digi Phonics (Sounwave and the whole TDE in house producers), DJ Dahi, DJ Mustard, etc.

Yeh Atlanta is alway gonna be in the light just off the fact that they got so many lables down their.


But they're not as big as they were like 5-6 years ago when some new 'snap your fingers' type artist would come out every week

L.A. is running sh!t right now in my opinion.

Chicago is buzzin but I can't identify two actually good rappers in their scene
(Not "Hot," But actually good at rappin)

I think Atlanta is kind of going through a transition right now.

Bronx
New Talent - LA: Kendrick, Ab-Soul, School Boy

New and Established Talent - NY: French, ASAP, Nas and Jay



* I am not ENDORSING French or ASAP but you can't deny their buzz. Honestly, I debated Nicki cuz she's buzzworthy but for real, her isht is mad pop.

There's a lot of cats in the chi who r making a name for themselves and are actually decent Thing is that people (esp from outta town) seem to be infatuated by chief keef/gbe and lil jojo and shyt. As a matter of fact...

Props for these...

yeah i'm always hearing about them GBE cats and thats just not my thing.. And Chicago is known to have some cats who can spit so I figured so cats who were dope but not getting that shine..

Yeah, LEP Bogus and Sir Michael Rocks are pretty dope.

I'ma have to listen to Chance the Rapper and King Louie, I've been hearing about them

What ever happened to Mikkey Halsted? I always thought he got slept on.

Mikkey Halsted just had a mixtape come out not too long ago. He's cold but severely slept on...
