Rap Scene, here? New Hampshire Rap artists

Rap is traditionally considered an art form most appreciated by the black population. New Hampshire's black population is 1% of ~1.3 million people (130,000), somwhat smaller than average. New Hampshire has a number of rap artists, but they're likely as not to be white. In any case, a good rap artist is rare in NH, and the best artists sell out their shows.

Among the top 60 of 300 in NH are the following (according to myspace)

DJ Danger http://www.myspace.com/djdanger187
