I don't think the NW really has developed there own sound as of yet, I think when one group or label blows up alot of people will follow suit and borrow from their formula. Ramos Records doesn't sound like Street Level, Seattle cats don't sound like Portland cats, I've heard some latino rapprers from the NW that are cool, plus there are labels looking for latinos especially. So who knows. What would ya'll think if some mexicans we're to establish themselves before say a black group? Or someone Asian like Sonny Bonoho, blew up? Would Seattle cats be happy if Cool Nutz out of Portland did it?
