Az has yet to develop its own sound and rappers here have a tendency to sound too much like they are either west coast, trap, or any other genres of rap. We also need a major promotion here to create an all Az tour that will increase in revenues who will want book shows to add to the market. Bootleg Kev believe it or not you can co create a stream here that will grow.

I lived in AZ for 12 years. They don’t blow up because 1. They don’t have an image of a rapper. Az don’t have a style tailored to them. 2. They don’t got their own lingo. Ask yourself. What someone from Phoenix sound like? You can tell when someone from NY, FL, GA, PHI. By their slang 3. All the rappers there want to talk about gang shit. While that can get you in the door it don’t get you far. 4. They don’t value hip hop like that meaning ask them the history and I’d say 90% of the people don’t know. Your goal should be to stand amongst the greats in the game. 5. Bar work ain’t up to par like that 5.

They could rap about drug smuggling, human smuggling, cartels, gangs… all of that is here in Arizona. Basically what hip hop is about these days. All they need is to find a Mexican like Peso Pluma that will appeal to the latin crowd. Market him right and he will will sale. Bootleg Kev has a lot of Clout through social media… I bet with his influence he could help an AZ artist blowup. Hip hop is mostly about marketing and gimmicks these days… talent has very little to due with becoming a star. It’s all about connections and know the right people. Someone with enough money could funnel their money into a person and make them a star overnight.

You just need the right connections to make it big out here. If someone put enough money and effort into an artist out here they could become huge.

@madswan2072 I agree, brother. The current hip-hop industry has a lot of mediocre rappers feeding into albums of degeneratecy, I just miss the early 2000s and the 90s when people were just making art, but I definitely agree it's about the connections.
