Hip-hop’s East Coast birthplace has largely been out of the question when it comes to producing new talent and driving the sound in the past decade, but there’s definitely something in the water in NYC right now. Hot97′s Peter Rosenberg and Ecko Unltd round up this new wave of MCs and collectives on the compilation mixtape, The New York Renaissance. Featuring breakout stars such as A$AP Rocky, Joey Bada$$ and Action Bronson, and bubbling underground favorites including Dyme-A-Duzin, Troy Ave and World’s Fair, this is pretty much a who’s who of New York’s thriving new rap scene, courtesy of one of the Big Apple’s most passionate hip-hop heads.
