<description><![CDATA[Eminem crashed the mainstream in the late '90s. With super-producer Dr. Dre behind the boards, the Detroit emcee quickly became a cultural touchstone. Combining cartoonish rage, ear-tickling beats, a distinct flow and gushing rhyme skills, he drew the praise of critics and the scorn of rap-hating political interests. His second album was darker, loaded with moody singles "Stan" and "The Way I Am." Eminem's private life soon mirrored his bad-boy image, and he found himself getting divorced, sued by his mom and arrested for weapons violations. After teaming up with Elton John at the 2001 Grammy Awards (to quiet the resounding charges of homophobia), he went to work on the semi-autobiographical film <i>8 Mile</i>. Eminem's third record, <i>The Eminem Show</i>, dropped in the summer of 2002. <i>Encore</i> followed in 2004. It took Eminem five years to complete a follow-up. The 30-something was busy bouncing in and out of rehab and trying to decide whether or not to rekindle a relationship with longtime girlfriend Kim. Out in 2009, <i>Relapse</i> was as disturbing as anything he'd released, and recast the pop culture spotlight on the bratty kid from Detroit.

<description><![CDATA[What makes Chicago's Lupe Fiasco special isn't that he's the most talented rapper of his generation, nor that he has a boyish charisma that jumps off his records and has drawn the attention of Jay Z and Kanye West. Technical acumen is not as important as your favorite indie emcee would have you believe, and charisma can be manufactured. What's special about Lupe is the honesty and clarity of his lyrics. He's a war emcee: he raps about the war on terrorism, the war on drugs and the war on the poor. "This has been brought to you by genocide, sponsored by crack," Lupe declares. Over the course of his debut drug dealers with tears rolling down their eyes man funeral processions. Cops roll by laughing at the misery they've sworn to police. The "game" is the "belly of the beast," the streets a "demon in a dress with dollar signs in her eyes and semen on her breath." There's "blasphemy for prayers," "Hennessey tears" and "hollow tips for teeth." For Lupe, "Righteousness is a father teaching his kids/ That what's better than wealth is respect for yourself."

<description><![CDATA[A hip-hop trio from Minneapolis, Atmosphere comprise Slug on the mic, Ant on production, and Mr. Dibbs on the wheels. Founders of the Rhymesayers collective and label (which also includes Eyedea & Abilities and Brother Ali, among others), the group has been steadily on the grind since the mid-1990s, playing countless shows for rabid underground heads at events like Scribble Jam and Coachella. Often dubbed "emo-rap" because of Slug's heart-on-his-sleeve lyrical approach, they've been embraced by legions of kids (especially young girls) and critics alike, regularly selling out large venues in both the U.S. and abroad. Their albums include <I>Overcast!</I>, <i>Lucy Ford</i>, <I>God Loves Ugly</I> and <I>Sevens Travels</I>. In 2004, they hit radio and MTV2 paydirt with the single "Trying to Find a Balance."

<description><![CDATA[Formed in 1993, this Cleveland-based crew first caught the ear of Eazy-E and, subsequently, the nation. Their trademark double and triple-time sung/rapped harmonies brought something new to the table at a time when most acts were busy trying to imitate <i>The Chronic</i>. Their unique sound prompted multi-platinum record sales, won them a Grammy, and brought the spotlight to the long-neglected Midwestern hip-hop community.

<description><![CDATA[Something about the rhythm of Common's flow -- the way he phrases his intelligent rhymes -- turns his voice into an instrument. He started out as Common Sense, releasing two excellent albums filled with sparse beats and dizzying rhymes that were unusual exports from the pop-focused hip-hop scene in the Midwest. Though he's been pigeonholed as a mellow Jazz Rap minimalist, he's got enough consciousness-stirring lyrics to make a listener sit up and think as they nod to his thick grooves. The album that broke him was <I>One Day It'll All Make Sense,</I> a record with rich, organic beats that balanced his unorthodox vocal style. Touring with a live band (often the Roots) seasoned him for his next effort, <I>Like Water For Chocolate</I>. Stretching hip-hop's boundaries, Common has drawn on everything from thick, Fela Kuti-inspired afro-beat to jazzy live backing, with tracks produced by DJ Premier and the Soulquarians (including drummer/mastermind ?uestlove and singer/keyboardist D'Angelo). In 2002, his sound grew considerably more experimental, and the Jay Dee-produced <i>Electric Circus</i> somewhat alienated fans of his earlier material. After taking a few years to regroup, Common returned triumphantly with <i>Be</i>, teaming up with fellow Chi-town native Kanye West for an exceptional back-to-basics album that many critics have hailed as a modern classic.

<description><![CDATA[One of the foremost practitioners of Midwest horrorcore, Kansas City's Tech N9ne has been frightening listeners with his warped ghetto tales for nearly a decade, though casual listeners wouldn't know it from his paltry recording output. Like most artists who gravitate towards the bloody extremes, Tech (ne Aaron Yates) was brought up in a very strict, religious household with a fundamentalist Christian mother and a Muslim stepfather. Despite their best attempts to shelter him, Tech was exposed to rap early when an uncle brought over a copy of proto-rapper Blowfly's "Rap Dirty." Tech was immediately captivated and soon picked up a mike and started spitting his own rhymes. At 17, he left home and soon got involved in the drug game. But during this time, Tech's rap career was beginning to take off and the young rapper moved to New Orleans for the sake of his career. He has lent his unique perspective to tracks by such artists as Eminem, D12 and Tupac. Unfortunately, it would be the first of many false starts, and he would soon be forced to return to Kansas City sans record deal. Tech refused to give up his dreams, though, and he hooked up with longtime collaborator Icy Rock and producer Dan Juan, who would help the rapper record his 2001 debut, <I>Anghellic</I>. Based on the success of advance singles, the album received major label distribution via Interscope Records. <I>Anghellic</I > was predictably dark, opening with the invocation "Welcome to hell" and refusing to relent thereafter. Tracks such as "Psycho Bitch," "Suicide Letters" and "Tormented" were ghoulishly sinister, approaching the tone and themes of fellow Midwesterner Eminem's more extreme tracks. Though the album was lauded in underground circles, it didn't catch on in the mainstream and Tech was dropped from his contract. Undeterred, he quickly re-entered the studio and independently released 2002's <I>Absolute Power</I>. That album opened with the anti-industry screed "The Industry Is Punks." Throughout both of his two proper full-lengths, Tech's vocal cadence displayed an unusual pliability. From the double-time rap of "The Industry Is Punks" to the growl of "Trapped in a Psycho's Body," Tech's flow was unpredictable. The only common denominator among the songs was Tech's ability to project a sense of impending menace. We can only hope that this Midwestern madman will once again be resurrected.

<description><![CDATA[Royce Da 5'9" is an odd case. The Detroit emcee is endlessly talented -- a case could be made that he's the best emcee to ever come out of Detroit -- and has both friends and enemies in high places (former collaborator and friend Eminem eventually turned against him). He's also had some of the best producers in the game. Over the past seven years, Gang Starr's DJ Premier has given the emcee some of his best beats, beginning with 2000's underground classic "Boom" and through 2007's excellent "Hit 'Em." But unfortunately, neither his 2002 debut, <i>Rock City</i>, nor his 2004 follow up, <i>Death Is Certain</i>, made a dent on the charts. Label problems are the default excuse in these situations, but perhaps the emcee's tangling wordplay and complex rhyme structure are a little too technical for mainstream ears. Regardless, the Detroit emcee will continue to be cherished in underground circles.

than hardcore, with an abundance of clever lyrics and a straightforward,
likeable flow. He appeared on D-12's <I>Devil's Night</I>, before dropping
his own debut, <I>Cheers</I>, in 2003. Trice's singles include the comical
"Got Some Teeth" and "The Set Up" with Nate Dogg.

<description><![CDATA[As a member of Minneapolis' Rhymesayers collective (alongside Atmosphere, Eyedea & Abilities, and others), Brother Ali perfectly encapsulates that heralded crew's aesthetic. He has a knack for insightful lyrics, but he tempers these emo tendencies with tough-guy bravado and a stinging litany of battle-ready insults. Inspired by pioneering emcees like Slick Rick and KRS-One, he began rapping at the age of 15. In 2000, he released his cassette-only debut, <i>Rites of Passage</i>, followed by the excellent <i>Shadows on the Sun</i> in 2003. Though that album was well received by critics and the Rhymesayers faithful, it failed to catch on with the general public, and Ali spent the next two years fighting poverty and engaged in a bitter custody battle with his ex-wife, whom he claims was both mentally and physically abusive toward him and his son. The blood and tears were on full display on his next disc, <i>The Undisputed Truth</i>. For that record, Ali scaled back some of the bravado and explored his inner emotional fissures. Once again, the album gained critical praise and a cult following, but failed to make an impression on the wider listening audience.

<description><![CDATA[Chicago's Rhymefest is best known as the ghostwriter for none other than Kanye West. Of course, that could very well change when Rhyme drops his own album, <I>Blue Collar</I>, in the spring of 2006. Midwest audiences should need no introduction to the charismatic rapper. The battle MC won a freestyle competition against Eminem in 1997; collaborated with Twista, ODB and Common producer No ID; and has released numerous mix tapes and regional singles. In fact, Rhymefest already has a proper full-length album underneath his belt: 2001's often-discussed, rarely-heard <I>Raw Dog</I> featured production entirely by Kanye West. The rapper's casual flow and blue-collar themes attracted attention from the New York hip-hop illuminati, and Mark Ronson's Allido, an imprint of J Records, soon scooped him up. In 2005, Rhymefest's visibility increased significantly when he was nominated and won a Grammy for writing West's "Jesus Walks." The two had been childhood friends and had emerged from a similarly middle-class background. West had even offered to sign Rhymefest to his GOOD music label, but 'Fest declined, citing the desire for the two not to mix business with friendship. Rhymefest's Grammy win served to whet the public's appetite for <I>Blue Collar</I>. With the continued popularity of West, Common and Twista -- and the emergence of Lupe Fiasco and Rhymefest -- Chicago is set to challenge Atlanta and N.Y.C. as the nation's hip-hop capital.

<description><![CDATA[Bone Thugs member delivers a solid solo effort. His trademark high-speed sing/raps are as tight as ever, as he breaks down the complexities of thug mentality. Dramatic pianos, smooth strings, and percolating beats set the pace for his swift flows.

<description><![CDATA[Undie rapper from Columbus, Ohio, rightly approved of by many folks who usually scoff at undie rap. Fun fact: was nostalgic for 1988 at least three years before Cool Kids were nostalgic for 1988 -- how's that for being ahead of his time, huh? Oh wait. Recommended: <i>1988</I>]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Hailing from Michigan, Binary Star craft some of the smoothest, most deliciously unforgettable tracks around. Senim Silla and the Anonymous go all-out on the mic, casually delivering intricate prose and thoughtfully addressing numerous topics, including phony-ness in the industry and unstable ladies. Flows are consistently wordy while never straying into played gangsterisms or overtly abstract randomness. Production tasks are handled exquisitely by Decompoze and Held Hostage Production, pairing laid-back beatscapes with bubbling upright basslines, refreshing pianos, and precision cuts. Already high rollers in the underground scene, Binary Star are poised to take over; their deep lyrics and shining soundtracks are too funky to resist.
