Los Angeles has returned to the forefront of the rap game, with much of the attention going to Kendrick Lamar, ScHoolboy Q, and the Top Dawg Entertainment roster. Other Los Angeles-area artists gaining momentum include Tyga, Tyler, the Creator, Nipsey Hussle, and Dom Kennedy. The latter two rappers have held discussions with Rick Ross and are rumored to sign with Maybach Music.
