Unusual question for this sub: What city to go to for the best hiphop scene?

I live in Seattle, have a semi-comfortable life as a fine dining server, looking to try somewhere new out!! COL doesn't matter much to me because I always find a way and have grown up in HCOL Seattle.

I am considering:

Oakland (the Bay is beautiful, I have friends out there, but it seems kind of sleepy. When I have visited it seemed like Seattle has much more going on late at night)

New York (only concern is finding a reasonable place to rent, and being able to still save money, also I'm not sure how the live music scene is out there?)

Los Angeles (I HATE traffic, and really like being able to walk. Also the air quality seems concerning, as I have asthma.)

Does anyone have any insight regarding the live music scenes in these different locations, as well as the hip hop scene? I know it's a long shot on Reddit asking about hiphop, but I figured I would give it a shot lol.
