L-Fresh The Lion: South West

<p><span><span>- Hip hop, as any good student of music history can tell you, started in The Bronx. The more nerdy history students, in fact, could pinpoint the exact block where Kool Herc started spinning breakbeats. From that point on, the history of hip hop is often the history of localities. Compton, Brooklyn; East Coast and West; the Dirty South. Often new developments in the genre are traced back to one location - trap from Atlanta, grime from East London.</span></span></p>
