10. Tree – MC TREE G EP
Year in and year out, Tree finds himself atop this list. He’s earned the distinction of the most consistent rapper in the city of Chicago — and is now making a case for taking that title nationwide. For the Tree G EP, he partnered with auto brand Scion to bring us some fresh sounds to kick off the year. It seemingly came out of nowhere, but leave it up to Tree to drop something without warning, and it still sounds like he’d spent years carefully crafting it.
Individuality is something that’s truly missed in music in 2014, but people like Tree continue to hold the torch and push the boundaries. Thank this man for impressing with every release, while never switching up or compromising his sound.

One of the best most accurate and seemingly unbiased lists FSD has ever posted. Congrats to all the artists recognized big and small.
Surprised that Katie Got Bandz didn’t get nominated. I was surprised that Common made it. Truthfully, I felt like the project capitalized and pandered to his Chicago roots that he hasn’t acknowledged in a long time. Although I am sure some would argue that the gesture is to pass the torch, something about it seemed false and it is far deeper than the fact of Common not being a “drill” rapper. Plus anytime he talks about sex gives me pause.
yall left out some well known ppl reppin Chicago. Like where is CEITO
Gibbs ain’t even from nor does he live in Chicago… And where is Ceito???
Remember folks it’s a Midwest blog. Gibbs is from Gary that’s not far from the Chi. And as for projects left off the list. Maybe FSD needs an honorable mentions post
yeah we all know FSD is a midwest blog but don’t title the post best “chicago” projects if you’re gonna include outside of chicago projects. it’s a bit misleading. you don’t open a chinese restaurant and sell pizza. honorable mentions post would be nice but ceito is above that. the positive energy, no pun intended, and stylistic laid back sounds were one step ahead of the major label artists like j. cole and kendrick right now.
FSD is a Chicago blog. They have a poor representation of the Midwest.
I think Village party and Body high should of been higher on the list, overall not bad
