Best City For Hip-Hop Music In the Last Five Years

The OD Podcast is back with a salient debate! What city has been the BEST for Hip-Hop music over the last five years? All things considered.  In this Episode Nadav and Gabe began by geeking out about Noname listening to our podcast followed by a discussion of all the cities we considered to be in contention. Cities mentioned include Chicago, Tennessee (we know), The DMV (DC, Maryland, and Virginia), New York, Atlanta, and Los Angeles. We spoke on all of our favorite artists from each of these places, each Cities impact, and more! Tune in until the end to find out which city takes the crown.  We mentioned a lot of artists and projects during this Episode, so we decided to create an accompanying Spotify playlist for those that may not know all the music mentioned. You can find that here [https://open.spotify.com/playlist/5nmHSbKPWKwpVa3yonL5tm?si=2RXesfZFRCmgDRVnBvS-Sg]. Artists appear in the playlist in the same order they appear in the podcast.
