Hip Hop Music, News, Information and Events - New York, NYC, NY
No blog, website or magazine would be complete without a thought-provoking, conversation-starting, potentially-divisive and hopefully-controversial poll, for the purpose of intellectual debate (and site traffic, ha!).
In that spirit, and in the spirit of the arrival of 2009, we ask in our first poll:
Who from the NY-area, in ’09, got next?
Have a look below, vote, add your own choice, discuss, and have fun with it.

2 out of 3 emcees in Tanya Morgan are from OH so how are they from NY now? Someone needs to go back to thier homework when making lists like this. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tanya_Morgandont get me wrong they dope but they aint from NY.
A good point, and one we considered, since Birthplace Mag intends to focus strictly on NY-area talent. However, we do streeeetch it a bit when it comes to having a strong NY presence, and a member of a group is NY-based, which Tanya Morgan has. We like Von Pea too, but thought that as a collective, TM has a better shot at getting next. I don't think it's a case of not doing homework, but a case of bending the rules a bit for a group that, admittedly, is not the typical group.
