Well, it's that time of the year again. That's right, it's list time, and Milwaukee hip-hop has had one heck of a year. I originally wasn't going to do a list of any kind because people are very sensitive about being left off of such things but here I go.

I've broken things done into a few different categories and I'm not assigning numbers to anything or claiming anything superior to anything else. What I am doing is purely a list of my favorites from the year. As you go through the categories, I encourage you to check out everything you aren't familiar with because you might find something you like.
