Milwaukee hip-hop

Milwaukee hip-hop is a subgenre of Midwestern hip-hop that specific to Wisconsin, and its largest urban center, Milwaukee in particular. The genre is said to have came to prevalence in the hip hop community in the early 1990s, with the alternative-rap group Arrested Development's (although mostly Atlanta-based, their lead, Speech, is a Wisconsin native) success at the 35th Annual Grammy Awards, including the Best New Artist Award. Another notable event would be the release of Milwaukee native Coo Coo Cal's #1 Billboard Hot Single "My Projects" in 2001. Milwaukee hip hop made a resurgence in the 2010s and can be considered to belong to the larger Midwestern hip-hop and drill scenes.
