According to data collected by the Movoto Blog, Minneapolis and Seattle have seriously strong hip-hop following. Appearing alongside the expected cities of New York, LA, and Miami; seems Macklemore and  Atmosphere  are really rubbing off on their cities.

Although Atmosphere has been doing his thing for quite some time now, seems that he, as of recently evoked just the right boost leaving the genre to dominate his city. In the case of Seattle, Macklemore and Ryan Lewis have not only grasped their hometown, but have also grabbed the reigns of the entire genre. If nabbing 4 Grammys wasn't enough, the duo has continued to break down barriers thus leading Seattle to hop on board of the Macklemore train.
