At some point during my long trek back to LA from San Jose, probably between my usual visit to Casa de Fruta and the 5 freeway, I began to think about Dirty South Soccer’s All-Atlanta Starting XI of rappers.
It’s a stacked list, and the cosmopolitan city of Atlanta is one of the musical cornerstones of these United States. But c’monnn. This is Los Angeles we’re talking about here. The entertainment capital of the world.
With that in mind, we set out to create a starting XI of tried-and-true LA based musicians that would make Angelinos proud.
