The New Chicago

The New Chicago

Since Chief Keef led the drill scene into the spotlight in 2011, Chicago rap has enjoyed a rebirth with a diverse young crop of MCs. Fellas like the gospel-influenced Chance the Rapper and the cerebral Mick Jenkins coexist with King L and his bleak dispatches from the streets. And ladies such as Katie Got Bandz and Tink have made Chi-town perhaps the country's best breeding ground for female rappers.
