Any smaller town that lies outside of the main city, of the county its in, in rap "suburbs" is usually used to refer to rich, safe and/or white neighborhoods even if it's in the city limits, similarly to how "inner city" and "urban" refer to poor, dangerous and/or minority neighborhoods even if it's nowhere near the city
Compton, Inglewood, Tukwila and Miami Gardens are suburbs - dangerous, poor and barely have any white people
Boise and Salt Lake City are inner city and urban - safe, rich and very white
