In honor of my upcoming trip to NYC I created a nice playlist full of hip-hop from the city that never sleeps. However, as I realized how extensive my playlist had become I started to break it down into a playlist for each borough. So I thought I'd give you my top 5 songs from each borough (minus Manhattan). Let's start it out with the birthplace, the Bronx.
Bronx- Home of the Yankees, but more importantly the birthplace of hip-hop. Just leave it at that.
Brooklyn- The hardest borough to pick 5 from. I'll limit myself and try to do some things a little off the map.
Harlem- Not being a fan of Dipset lately, I had to reach back for some stuff from this borough.
Queens- A very underrated borough. While there are certainly better Run and Nas songs, these two I've been feeling lately.
Long Island- I never realized two of hip-hop's most influential group were from Long Island.
Staten Island- Wu-Tang dominated.
