Prospect Heights What?

"Brooklyn" by Fabolous feat. Jay-Z and Uncle Murda (!) has the most complete list of neighborhood shoutouts that I've heard so far, even including Canarsie, but still no Prospect Heights. The list:

bed stuy fly
bushwick sick
east new york walk
brownsville grill
fort greene lean
clinton hill chill
red hook look
flatbush push
williamsburg swerve
cypress hills feel
coney island stylin'
crown heights tight
canarsie flossy
park slope dope

I'm proposing a branding campaign whereby Prospect Heights is given a clever rhyming nickname that rappers can default to when repping the borough. I've including some poll options, but feel free to suggest others.
