New Jersey’s hip-hop scene has the biggest buzz it’s had in some time right now, with rappers like Fetty Wap blowing up, DJs like Drewski, Naim and Wallah on Hot 97, bloggers/media personalities like Karen Civil and myself, Joe Budden maintaining his relevancy and now, Mad Decent rapper Dougie F. rising to fame as well.
