Florida
In the "sunshine" state, there are many musical genres, especially in Miami. Miami has been the number one city in Florida for music since the 1970's with Criteria Studios when they began working on the album, Hotel California by the Eagles. Bellamy Brothers are also known for composing country music in Miami as well. But the music scene in Florida took a different direction when rappers from Liberty City made their grand entrance. These artists are Trick Daddy, Trina, Cool & Dre, Rick Ross, and Ace Hood. Another rapper from North Florida by the name of T-Pain popularized the auto-tune sound in music.
