Some of the greatest MCs of our time, including Jay Z, Kanye West and the late Notorious B.I.G are advocates of the latter. While other greats, like Tech N9ne and Eminem, champion the former method.

Faith Katunga March 18, 2023 Original Content New Orleans has always been a hub for music, first with Jazz and then more recently with hip hop.

But the damage of the storm proved to be much stronger than anyone expected. Artists and record companies like Cash Money and No Limit had no choice but to relocate to other states and lay low. Despite the permanent damage Hurricane Katrina inflicted on so many lives, the underground hip hop scene has slowly returned to the city in an effort to rebuild the New Orleans spirit.
