I could easily list Del, Casual, Devin the Dude, 3Stacks, King T, OC, Monch, Count Bass D, 2Pac, Masta Ace, Blu, Raekwon, Guilty Simpson, Danny Brown, Kendrick,and Mos Def as some of my favorites and not bat an eyelash. I listen to and feel all of these artists and more and hold them all in equally high regard, regardless of regional origin or bias.
