I got no problem with the term - been seeing "RUN DMV" tshirts around since way before the current wave of RUN DMC takeoffs, and it's nice for the hip hop scene to have something that actually unites it rather than having to shout out Lanham or wherever.
Of course, I'm pushing for the use of "Lower Chesapeake Bay Watershed", if y'all could help that catch on it would be much appreciated.

"We didn't find any others," said the department's Freedom of Information Act officer, Diana G. Jordan, in response to a request from The Washington Post to review citations.
