25. Lucki Eck$ – Body High
Lucki Eck$ introduced himself and his hazy sound to everyone with 2013’s Alternative Trap and this year, he allowed everyone to get to know him a little better with Body High. The alternative trapper, a little older and a little sharper, explored what it’s like to be the dealer and the user in the project’s twelve tracks.
Keeping with the atmosphere set on Alternative Trap, Luck relied on production from frequent collaborators Plu2o Nash, Vela Seff and Hytman while also taking on production from skywlkr, Nuri and others. Body High served as solid follow-up to Luck’s debut project and is definitely worth a listen.

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
