Welcome to the Encyclopedia of Chicago Hip-Hop, a wiki designed to provide a comprehensive and organized overview of Chicago hip-hop history by offering concise, factual information designed to be a starting point for research, while offering context and for further exploration into all aspects of Chicago hip-hop heritage.

The CHHHP is a Semantic MediaWiki project, which is built on the same platform as Wikipedia but includes semantic extensions that allow properties (variables) to be stored in a database and queried to produce analytical information.

This wiki is administered by the CHHHP team and attempts to adhere to the five pillars of WikiEditing.

This site functions exactly like Wikipedia; all information and edit history is public; everyone is encouraged to create an account and contribute. You can begin by browsing by category using the links below, searching for an artist, song, etc., using the search bar at the top of the page, or browsing a list of all pages.
