The DeuxDuel Midwest Rap lineup

33 songs · 16 artists · 1994–2021 · listed A–Z, not ranked

Midwest Rap: the hip-hop scene (genre-defined, not decade-bound).

What this list is

DeuxDuel draws from 33 songs when it builds a Midwest Rap matchup. Two of them appear side by side, you play a 30-second preview of each, and you pick the one you would rather hear. Every track here is a real Apple Music catalogue song, hand-picked for this category — not pulled from a streaming chart — and voting needs no music subscription.

The order below is alphabetical by artist. It is not a ranking and does not imply one.

No ranking is published for Midwest Rap yet. DeuxDuel only publishes a chart once a category has real head-to-head evidence behind it, so this page shows the lineup and nothing more. How the ranking works.
