Top Ten Urban Artist/Groups In The DMV (Current)

This list is based on recent sales and radio play, street buzz, label status and body of work. Artist must have released product, had a radio single or created buzzworthy news within the last 12 months. Also, I define the DMV as DC, PG/Montgomery/Charles (basically anything thats doesn't border Baltimore) and Northern VA. (sorry Chris Brown, Trey Songz and The Clipse). I will be posting an all time list in the upcoming weeks.

So without further adieu...I present to you my list of the "Top Ten Urban Artist/Groups In The DMV".
