Detroit or Memphis: Where Will The Next Epicenter of Hip-Hop Be?

As Atlanta’s dominance as the epicenter of Hip-Hop starts the backside of its lifespan, new cities have begun to explode with talent in hopes that their region will be stamped as the next epicenter of Hip-Hop.

The first is Memphis, Tennessee, home of break-out stars like Moneybagg Yo, Pooh Shiesty, and BIG30, as well as Hip-Hop moguls Yo Gotti and the late Young Dolph. The second city Detroit, Michigan, home to Hip-Hop mainstays Eminem and Big Sean has seen a renaissance with new rappers like 42 Dugg and Icewear Vezzo poised to carve out a niche in the game for the Detroit sound. Also sharing responsibility for Detroit's Hip-Hop renaissance is Babyface Ray and his new project FACE may solidify Detroit's up next status.
