Twice a year the DJ Service Pack let's us know what's really going on with hip-hop in every major hub by way of a detailed infographic. In February we received the last infographic, which revealed that, at the time, one of the hottest songs in Atlanta was Young Thug's "Danny Glover," while Shy Glizzy's "Awwsome" dominated the DMV, and Chinx "Feelings" was all over NYC-- the graphic really showed how local artists tend to kill it in their native city, despite not necessarily reaching a wider demographic.
For the second break-down of 2014, we are pleased to present The Hottest 7 Songs In The Hottest 7 Cities alongside DJ Service Pack. This time around we're seeing the same pattern emerge: Rich Gang's "Lifestyle" featuring ATliens Young Thug and Rich Homie Quan is the hottest record out in the ATL. For Chicago, Drill representative Katie Got Bandz "Lil Bitch" is the dominating record. When we head over to San Francisco, Bay Area's Iamsu! takes the lead with "Only That Real." Meanwhile in Los Angeles, Chris Brown's "Loyal" is the hottest record out. On the opposite coast, unsurprisingly, Bobby Shmurda's "Hot Nigga" takes the lead. Interestingly enough, Shy Glizzy's "Awwsome" still seems to be the #1 hottest track in the DMV. Finally, in Houston/Dallas we see Chedda Da Connect's "Flicka Da Wrist" with Boston George at the top.
Charlie Jabaly, co-owner of DJ Service Pack and Street Executives, said of the time-consuming endeavor, "Working on this project took weeks of interviewing hundreds of DJs. We got deep into the roots of each city to find out the real story going on in the clubs. Most of the times, radio doesn't paint the real picture of whats hot, but the clubs and the streets never lie."
Take a look at the full infographic below, and feel free to share it. Does any of the info take you by surprise? Let us know.
