The phrase "He's the man," originated in Jazz music circles (mostly black) and the likely first use was in reference to the great Louis Armstrong in the 1950s.

It continued to evolve in the black community and the phrase "you da man," was in common use in the 70s and 80s.

I don't think you can tie it down to north or south......just black.

As with many black colloquialisms, it was adopted as "cool" by whites and is in common use by people of all races and ethnicities today.
 
BG 42 EDGE : Thanks for your explanations.
I know little about Louis Armstrong and about mutual influence of cultures in the USA. But I know very small part of that information.
