Southern Hip Hop YouTube Potpourri

Stepping up the hip hop presence in this piece

So, as you might know, we are stepping up the hip hop presence over here at the RVANews offices. First, we convinced local label Concice Records to contribute some stellar tracks to the Eight Track, and next week I will write a charming article explaining in detail Concice’s exact contribution to our local musical community. I thought that to carry us all over to next Friday I’d compile a Southern Hip Hop YouTube collection. I’ve been reading about this Southern Hip Hop thing a bit and here’s what I came up with; 6 regions with an archetypal video from each region….

Miami – 2 Live Crew
