✶✶✶✶ The Encyclopedia of Chicago Hip-Hop History ✶✶✶✶

This project is a specialized wiki designed to provide a comprehensive and organized overview of Chicago hip-hop history. Our pages present concise, factual information designed to be a starting point for research. We aim to offer data and information that will provide context and connections for all elements of Chicago hip-hop history.

Launched in 2024 with support from UIC and in collaboration with the Chicago Hip-Hop Heritage Museum, this project has so far created pages for 290 emcees, 52 DJs, 12 street dancers, 20 graffiti writers and many others members of the Chicago hip-hop community.
