From Wikipedia
Southern hip-hop or Southern rap, also known colloquially as Dirty South music, is hip-hop music from the Southern United States. As hip-hop spread beyond its origins in New York City, several Southern cities began developing their own hip-hop scenes in the 1980s. After some early commercial successes like 2 Live Crew and the Geto Boys, Southern hip-hop broke into the hip-hop mainstream more fully in the 1990s, spurred on by acts like Atlanta's Outkast and New Orleans' Master P and Juvenile. This growth continued in the twenty-first century, making the South into one of the most prominent regions in hip-hop.
