Down South Crunk Music??

In this regional battle for hip hop supremacy the past 2-3 years has definitely belonged to the South; Atlanta in particular. Its really sad to see NY artists abandoning their original sound and making a fool out of themselves over these southern records i.e., Fat Joe "Make it Rain". Even more interesting, is a group out of Atlanta that has managed to keep their southern swagger and form a hybrid of southern and original music. I've been on Supreeme for a minute now, and I was really impressed by their debut Supremacy, which was executive produced by West Coast legend Murs. Though they might be the most awkward looking group in hip hop, their music and content are light years ahead of your favorite rap group. Check out their latest video "Sleep".
