Hip Hop North Carolina running hiphop now?

[Jody Lo]

With the accessibility of connections becoming a few instagram clicks away, we’ve been able to witness a change in how an artist is broken into the music industry. Ever since music discovery became as easy as accessing the internet, we’ve seen hundreds of artists emerge from remote locations all over the United states. This seemed to be unusual at first but is becoming more accepted as new artists find their niche audience every day. But 1 region in particular seems to stand out amongst the rest, that being North Carolina. I’m not keeping the score, but if I was I’m more than sure North Carolina would have been winning by a land slide. With so many starving artists in one location, just this past summer (let alone 2019 as a whole) the North Carolina scene produced some of the hottest releases both mainstream and underground. Let’s review

Without continuing this list(which I could), its easy to see North Carolina as a whole is contributing a lot to modern hiphop. Let’s appreciate their contribution while its still their time.

They doing good. Now we need someone from South Carolina to blow.

 

[newworldafro]

Yes. never thought I'd see the day but 2019 has been the year for N.C. Hip Hop

They need to do a track with Petey Pablo, just respect the first one to breakthrough from these borders.

Cordae is not from North Carolina breh. He was just born there. Slim was raised out here in Maryland.
