@theflyest really put some kinda curse on those dudes. I still enjoy watching Verb/Yung Ill/B Magic/Hitman somewhat so his anti St Louis posts be hurting my heart lowkey. But man there's a couple more failures coming out of that region that he didn't even list.
Juicezilla has two battles on the URL channel, with 130k views total in over 5 years. Not sure how he was part of that Midwest movement, but he was...
Remy D is maybe a bigger failure than all of those dudes.
Don't forget the Battle America dudes are from St. Louis too, that whole movement crashed and burned.
Either 2014/2015 Aye Verb tried to bring some new talent to the PGs, it was 3 STL battlers and they all ended up losing their PGs
It's the dudes in this vid
I think Smack could have done more for the main guys "out thurr", but lots of L's coming out of that region...
