Co-sign, Reason is VERY capable in the hip hop area. I use it all the time for drum programming, synths, strings, effects and anything else I need in my hip hop production.
Also on the subject of Pro tools, it's a very capable DAW but remember you're not limited to protools, research about other DAWs like Sonar, Ableton, Acid Pro etc, find one you feel most comfortable with, remember you shouldn't limit yourself.
