What's going to be the next "South?" Do you think hyphy will take the country by storm? Will the East re-claim it's throne? Or perhaps there will be an upstart by the unlikely Baltimore club scene? Will DC go-go finally get its moment to shine?

What do you think it'll be?

good question. yo i dunno. I see no sign from any other of those new places u just mentioned. Dc, baltimore.... no proof of them.

i'm hoping the east will come back and knock some EFFING sense into the rap world. And the south needs to just die. They're killing hip hop

I'm not surprised you haven't heard of go-go or Baltimore house music. It's a regional thing.

For an accessible introduction to go-go, check out the myspace of this cat named Wale. He's made a hip-hop/go-go hybrid by mixing in go-go samples in his music. The second and third songs on there get a decent amount of airplay on the radio here (the DC area).

As for Baltimore club music, check out "Jiggle It" by Young Leek. He just got signed to Def Jam, so if you haven't heard this song yet, you will. It's a blend of hip-hop and club so it should, again, be pretty accessible. And for a B'more club classic, listen to "Percolator" by Cajmere.
