Free playlist: Hello Brooklyn

The Jealous Girlfriends are just one of many new artists from Brooklyn.

New York has always been a breeding ground for talented musicians, but not since East Coast hip-hop emerged in the '80s has there been enough of a scene there to call it a movement. Today, if you zoom in on the map, you'll find the trend-setting and musically productive borough of Brooklyn. It's definitely a mecca for indie rock hipsters, but not everyone there wears ironic thrift store t-shirts. Artists such as Nada Surf, Antibalas, and Beau Jennings have ubiquitous styles that could be from anywhere, really. And this diversity is the reason why we love New York.

Our Hello Brooklyn playlist celebrates local artists from Brooklyn. Listen via the green button below, and visit Download Music to hear more great music.
