L.A.

It's 2015. L.A. songs shouldn't sound like Ain't no fun, G'd up, or Black Superman. And NY songs shouldn't sound like Who got da props, Scenario, or even Flipside.

The South completely changed the game up, and the West, East, AND Midwest had to adjust their sound, just like the West's run in the 90's influenced the other regions. So with that...this sound here is an evolution of the gritty, darkness of NY, but it takes that bass heaviness from Toomp/The South and speeds it up. Same way that for L.A., Mustard's sound has the speed of the West Coast, the Bass sound of the Bay, but the 808s and other elements of the South (Collipark Snap, Lil Jon "Hey!" adlib, Quarter note clap from New Orleans).

I could have even titled it saying that the East Coast has evolved into a new sound that is starting to become dominant, but that's too long. It's no way to say the Ray Jr. song or Troy Ave sound like Toomp and them, though.
