This volume is a nice mix of smooth gangsta rap and more traditional east coast hip hop. The southeast has me hooked and after listening you'll see why. Here's a link and the tracklist.

North & South Carolina Underground Part 2

This collection of tracks is sort of a reprise to 'North Vs South Carolina'. For those who slept, here is a link to that post if you want to go back and check it out again.

In the meantime, let's dig into the meat and potatos of today's course. The breadth and depth of hip hop from the Carolinas is mind boggling. Sure some of the lyrical styles found on these tracks are influenced by the tri-state area, but both North and South Carolina have their own well deserved reputations. The whole compilation is pretty obscure so if you're looking for that rare ish dig in and hold on tight.
