"Hip" (one of the blogs I posted is "Let Me Hip You") "on dogs" (our version of deadass)
"them kids" (or version of opps)
"force(d) (it)"-you can here this in the Trottie Y GIzzle/Moula Freestyle I posted earlier
As far as an accent you'll hear words like bails and deals become "b(e)ills" and "dills"

As a white guy from MA, most of the things on that page have me scratching my head. “Bureau”, “draw”, “and “frappe” are good (though not really “slang”). I think “force” and “basic” are used outside of MA. Kill me on the spot if I ever describe something as “the balls”.

force naw not really. Especially not the way Bostonians use it. basic, yes.
Only in Boston can you say "Oh yea, he's a force" or simply "forceee"
Lyrics towards the end are (per a google search):
"Smokin' the gas with the CVs and rastas
Just spent $100 on one plate of pasta
Green and the red I'm like Blanka
Play with the Tim Turner concha
Rollie in water like lobster
Me and three ******* in Benihana
I ain't their daddy, they call me papa
Hundred bands come up of fifty dollars
Watch out for snakes like a Gucci collar"
All ending with the -ah sound, especially on-the-nose with "lobstah".
Yea this was one of his worst songs. Not sure why he wasted all that RCA label money on this and Lambo... smh. I remember he got on Power 105.1 in new York and had them play No Ice off his One Night Only album.. it should have been Paper Callin. He always picks the wrong songs to showcase.
I think Phoenix. There are guys who've been coming out of Dallas most notably with the southern trap. Boston has a well established scene & Seattle has a few guys coming out making waves as of recent.
I don't know anyone from Phoenix making noise off the top of my head.
Unfortunately, I only know one rapper in Connecticut other than Apathy....
"StaRrbuckz" from Hartford. Only heard him because he came up to a Boston radio station to promote his music. He went to WZBR 98.1, and Northeastern University radio, recorded some in Brockton...but he ain't good...
New Haven looks to NYC (it's both tri-state and New England) first compared to Boston. No one is really checking for Boston except on city-data. Memphis is having a nice run right now in the hip-hop scene.
Hartford and New Haven don't really talk to each other much as you would think given that they're under 50 miles a part. The feels of the two cities are really different. Locally, there's a bunch of good stuff in other genres not hip-hop yet although historically NHV had some decent local presence given that it was one of the most active Black liberation cities (e.g. Black Panther Party).
To answer the OPs question, Phoenix for sure but it'll be interesting to see how it looks in a few years given that Las Vegas and Phoenix are seeing a lot of Black in-migration.

This is not really true, although thelook is to NYC first-for sure -I was definitely in a 'New England Hip Hop' Clubhouse room with multiple people from New Haven 7/8 months ago. They were very much looking to make inroads in Boston's scene. You might need to be in New England longer to understand all those connections. Regardless, I'm not talking about where people are looking to-just where is the scene in CT?
Looking to NYC is just that looking to NYC... I'm wondering where is the organic scenes in CT and/or why is the quality/quantity lacking when so close to NYC. I lived in CT for four years in college and there was nothing despite Hartford having a reverence for the foundational elements of hip hop. In fact, Boston rappers were having concerts and stuff in Hartford when I was in college. They were posting flyers on our campus, we also had Joyner Lucas for a show. I found a stronger bboy/black skating culture and dancehall scene than active rappers.
Agree that NHV and Hartford feel quite different. New Haven is a much better city with more of a pulse. Connection in New Haven are certainly stronger with NYC Hartford is more standalone and a little more Mass influenced. What are the genres in New Haven? I would assume jass and RnB. Based on the presence of 94.3 WYBC.
I could theorize why CT is lacking in this arena but I think its basically the same way Jersey doesn't get a ton of shine, mission a major city. But obviously, Jersey connections to NYC are thicker and they're much more numerous than CT. I don't see the proximity to NYC benefitting CT musically, ever really- apart from Cassie.
