I heard of Xanman and (Lil Dude), but the DMV never struck me as a rap-oriented, mostly RnB and Soul. I know far more Rappers from Baltimore.
Word? The only rapper from Baltimore I'm familiar with is Los. A few other rappers I heard names of like Bandhunta Izzy, but I never checked em out. Bmore has always been club based, so it's wild to see someone say they know more rappers from there.
I'd say Baltimore is in the same vein as Milwaukee; two cities with strong urban black culture but a severely lacking hip-hop scene. Though, Lakeyah from Milwaukee did pretty good on the XXL cypher.

I could go on and on and on with Boston.
Don’t forget Free is from Boston that’s was important culturally. Mashonda and Amerie we’re both born in MA, Mashonda lived in Boston though and was there much lob we than Amerie who is a DC artist( you can hear it in her music too).
Btw I just remembered Token is from Boston, he didn't get mentioned at all. Is he not seen as a representative?
He exists but isn’t mentioned in Boston rap world or the media that covers rap in Boston. I honestly don’t think most Boston people know he exists-he existed and made moves totally outside of the scene. Mostly because he’s white and from the suburbs (sorta, he’s from Salem)
I heard of Xanman and (Lil Dude), but the DMV never struck me as a rap-oriented, mostly RnB and Soul. I know far more Rappers from Baltimore.
Aside from Wale, I don't know of any rappers from DC. I can't even think of any battle rappers from DC.
