#BBB NEWS| New Study Discovers Which City Has The Most Platinum Hip-Hop Albums

Music has gone through multiple phases over the years and never ceases to introduce something new that hasn’t been heard before. From “busting out the bando” trap music to songs that bring on the the newest dance craze, there’s always something that a specific area can tag their name onto to rep their hometown.

A new study by DJBooth.net is taking a look at each city’s influence, based on their number of platinum hip-hop records.

Though pretty much every area has gotten in on making their stamp in the world of music, there’s only a particular region that can claim the title of “king” when it comes to owning the most amount of platinum hip-hop albums – and that would be the New York and New Jersey area, according to the new analysis.

After taking a look at the number of platinum albums per major city, DJ Booth reports that New York and New Jersey are at the top of list amongst others with a whopping number of 120 of hip-hop’s platinum selling albums. The only city that came close is Los Angeles with 50, but other places such as Houston, Atlanta, New Orleans, and so many more barely go past the 30 mark for going platinum.

It seems like producer extraordinaire Swizz Beats and his R&B songstress wifey Alicia Keys aren’t content with their 25,000 sq/ft mansion for one reason and one reason only – there isn’t enough room for all of their extravagant artwork!

The two are such huge fans of art and they feel the need to have it all out on display, but unfortunately in order to do so, they’re going to have to find a bigger place. Swizz even has a catchy name for their impressive art collection – “Eight Acres of Showtime.”

Their artwork ranges from a plethora of different artists including Jean-Michel Basquiat, Andy Warhol, Ernie Barnes, Keith Haring and many, many more.

They purchased the home, located in Englewood, New Jersey, from Eddie Murphy back in 2013. The house is fully equipped with eight bedrooms, a movie theater, a huge in-door pool, a two-lane bowling alley, decked out recording studio and a fully functioning gym. As of now, the home is listed for $14.9 million dollars.
