From Wikipedia
DMV hip-hop is a blanket term for a regional genre of American hip-hop music that emerged in the Washington metropolitan area, which comprises Washington, D.C., Maryland, and Virginia.
Other prominent D.C. stations include WPGC 95.5 and WKYS 93.9, both of which are. The city's traditional style has been described as not quite the same as New York City hip-hop nor Southern hip-hop. Rather, it has been influenced by both regions to form its own unique style. The population of D.C. is not large enough to support as many distinct subgenres of rap as other metropolitan areas, and as a result, the sound and style of D.C. hip-hop is very mixed.
