No offense to anybody else, the NYC area back in the day ran the show. Everything else is pretty much garbage, particularly southern rap. I don't even know what those animal noises are.

^^ Millyz is from Cambridge and has been making waves




This is what San Antonio is working with these days. Mostly "trap" stuff but Mike Dimes has potential to get some mainstream light.

Here are some joints from the golden era of Cincinnati hip hop in the early-mid 2000s:







Along with my favorite local banger that came out within the past decade:

I've heard stuff from him i like. I think he's in jail?

It's true though lol, every crew in the tristate "raps" now.

The first track here- Miyagi, is tough in the headphone and with basss. But so is Bowls... Honestly I like Bowls more

Is he dead or locked? He hasn't released anything since 2017 and there's very little information on him. I don't see any social media accounts either...

They still have one mega-high rise housing project and some others they've got a few MS-13 and one or two of their own little gangs like MP-45. But overall a very safe and pleasant city. For sure. And much more so since 2010 especially. People really like Cambridge and theyve got a lot of culture. It's not dangerous at all but generally if someone from Cambridge says they are shooting at opps I'm not gonna question it. They don't feel a need to like be cool or be Boston even. They're really just them and some of them do 'shoot at opps', alwys have, i can confirm.

It was much worse back in the 1990s. To of Benzino's people were from Cambridge.

this was like two days ago: 4 vehicles, building struck by gunfire in Cambridge, Massachusetts, police say

last year:
'The crisis we're in:' Patterns emerge as Cambridge police look to quash gun violence

Ernest Payne, Cambridge man wanted in connection to fatal shooting, arrested in Miami

Cambridge cancels Caribbean fest after threat of gang violence

Again its not tough but the young black and latino men in Cambridge are FARfrom suburban. They mostly work with a Manhattan-esque Roxbury/Harlem.South End type energy. lotta rappers (not really good IMO, you dont have to listen- im just showing you...)

It looks like they're more about getting money and trapping rather than petty street beefs and killing each other (outside of MS13).

I couldn't finish the first video. Sounds like he's trying to talk with a London accent rapping over a UK drill beat, while dressing like he's from Chicago, lol.

This puts the " Cincinnati is Southern or Midwestern" debate to rest. If you told me an Atlanta rapper made this I wouldn't doubt you for a second. It's like Southern with some East Coast sprinkled in which defines the city pretty well.

Big Leano is a real trapper and he raps about "and i been trappin so hard i almost forgot bout the booth." I know his neighborhood and his street had several shootings and homicdes in 106 and 2017 and he was known to be a deviant in general. He disappeared after being on Cousin Stizz's One Night Only Album on the song Store. He is best known for his local hit "Lean for Sale (i got lean for sale, straight codeine for sale).

He likely got locked up or just saw no money in rapping. I think RCA put the money up for that DARK video which was shot in LA with Stizzy.
