East coast

"The East Coast" (also known as the Eastern Seaboard) is a term referencing the easternmost coastal states in the United States of America.

It includes all thirteen original colonies, as well as such selected places as Washington, DC, Florida and Vermont. People elsewhere in the United States sometimes refer to the East Coast colloquially as "back east".

In the rap music community the term has been embraced in a sense of regional loyalty. There has been animosity and violence between rappers from the two coasts of America.
