Its all about the South, Midwest, & East Coast these days.

Yeah you don't know what you're talking about. Kendrick Lamar hasn't produced anything noteworthy? The Game?

I am shocked more people voted for Houston than LA, people actually voted for Memphis and cities like st. Louis. Wow...

Don't forget Nipsey Hussle, Hopsin, Crooked I, Oh No, DJ Mustard, The Alchemist, and Y.G.

I'm East Coast forever no matter where I am but I think it's time that people start recognizing that L.A. is about to be a real problem again.

Yup, I love Gangrene. Two guys who are beastly production wise and they can hold their own behind the mic. Seriously though, any album Alchemist has been touching these days has been great. I'm looking forward to a Alchemist and Roc Marciano collabo. That will be filthy.

Yesss!!! I also love r-Cali too! If that song was an actual single, it would be a banger!!! Smokin' and Ridin' is another song from the soundtrack I enjoy listening too. Sounds like it could've came out back in '09 or something.
