The best thing about Chicago Hip Hop is that it is fairly clean and is socially active...and it involves jazzy beats....Chicago hip hop seems to have it all, then why doesn't it get the exposure it deserves?
You could ask the same question about Chicago Soul. We're not called the Second City for nothing. This happens with a lot of things.

Check out Parkay.

PARKAY AKA BUTTA BOY on MySpace Music - Free Streaming MP3s, Pictures & Music Downloads

I don't know why he hasn't blown up. His MySpace page is pretty hard to navigate, but I picked up one of his CD's two years ago. Some good beats and lyrics. True Chi Town guy there.

The new sound of Chicago is very southern/trap rap influenced. Chief Keef and crew and all the young generation coming up aren't into the soulful/conscious hip-hop. This new sound of young gang-bangers really does represent what the Chicago youth have been 'into' especially this year.

Here's the thing, The street sound in chicago has always had similarities to the southern sound(but a little darker). The difference was that the south got popular first. Just listen to old twista, psychodrama, and crucial conflict. Its not that much different than this new sound except the new sound is more up to date.


That soulful sound like kanye and common and No-ID is what people think of when they hear chicago rap but the artista are very diverse.

Kendrick Lamar is playing at the Congress tomorrow night. One of, if not the best, current rappers right now.
