“I don’t like that thing, that, ‘New York is back thing,’” Erick Sermon said “Everybody say, ‘I’m bringing New York back.’ I don’t like that. New York never went nowhere. You have underground people, people are making Hip Hop…They all over the place but it just ain’t mainstream and dope enough to go on radio ‘cause of how radio is. They never did that. There’s no bringing New York back. You gotta do what you have to do.” New York still comes out with some amazing artist these days from A$AP Rocky to Joey Bada$$ which are some highly influential young artist.
