Big Sean: Detroit, Michigan - This Detroit native has said, “For me, personally, Detroit is a melting pot for everything. We get the best from the East Coast, West Coast and down South.

Meek Mill: Philadelphia, Pennsylvania - Philly rappers are known for being on point style wise and lyrically, and Meek Mill is more than happy to continue carrying that torch. Not only has confidence driven him to success, but he doesn't see the challenge of winning for his city as added pressure. "I grew up under artists who practiced their flow so I came up understanding the importance of that. When you’re from Philly, you gotta have your lyrics and your flow [rehearsed perfectly], that’s the number one thing. You also gotta have a hot hook but you have to have a perfected flow as well, from my city." (Photo: Rick Diamond/Getty Images for BET)

Drake: Toronto, Canada - He's Toronto’s finest sweater collector and we have to guess his knitwear and outerwear obsession came from growing up in intense winters.
