Regional sounds are dying out in general. All you need is the internet to know about you to blow up these days.

well i bet he's the reason why comp had some kind of deal like a decade ago, his marketing budget must have been nonexistent tho because i never heard of him before that list

For a city that size, there has been surprisingly little hip-hop music to make it out of it. Not even rappers that are underground but with an established following the way the Bay and Northern California have been doing it for a long time. Strange.

DC hasn't done much better, BTW.

that's because the music industry looks at the baltimore dc area as just regional music that they can't make money off

But they did make a lot of money from regional music in the past, for example in New Orleans

And that's not all I was saying, I made the point that most other larger cities have at the very least produced underground artists that have built a stable following even if they never successfully transitioned to the majors, and most of them also developed a regional style. The Baltimore/DC area is one of the exceptions, and the biggest one in terms of population size
