NY is the mecca, and the talent that leaves out these streets proves it everyday. Take for example, the kid Troy.Sol from Pay Per Chase Entertainment:
"Born in Long Island NY Troy.Sol AKA T.flames is a leading force in the notorious Long Island sound. Made famous by artist like Rahkim, Keith Murray, De La Sol,Public Enemy and EPMD, the Long Island sound has always been a competing force in the music industry.His knowledge, understanding, and love of the craft gave him an upper hand when he claimed his place as the newest member of the hip-hop scene. Influenced by the ways of the world, he is inspired to make songs involving real life situations. His music captivates people as they become entrenched in the vibe. While the music is identified as hip-hop it cropresentsses all genres and dominates the cross-over scene but still keeps true to his New York heritage and Jamaican roots with the conscious delivery."
