Milwaukee’s thriving hip-hop scene gave birth to Arrested Development, the Rusty P’s and Black Elephant.
But there’s also a growing subset of hip-hop artists claiming the genre for themselves. They’re not gangbangers. They’re not decked out in bling and designer clothes, surrounded by scantily clad women and free-flowing champagne. They’re not black.
What was once considered the enclave of African-Americans, borne out of the Bronx’s gritty New York streets in the 1970s, is now mainstream American music. But there’s Algerian hip-hop, Korean MCs and Japanese beat boxers. In Milwaukee, hip-hop is represented by the Hmong and Latino communities.
