In the final years of the last millennium, two native New Yorkers added a page to Chicago’s hip hop history with the advent of the WHPK Wednesday Night Rap Show. Although short-lived and never formally christened, the show had heads from Roosevelt to the Hundreds stuck on 88.5 FM midweek. In the show’s aftermath, from the ashes of countless vinyl crates and echoes of chaotic show-closing freestyle sessions, Typical Cats was born.
Featuring MCs Qwazaar, Qwel and Denizen Kane, producer/DJ Natural and media assassin Kid Knish, Typical dropped a self-titled full-length on Galapagos4 Records and began a relentless campaign to restore a fallen hip hop world to its former promise and glory. The talent assembled was unmistakable, the sound created was formidable. Firmly planted in tradition, unorthodox in invention and possessed of a strength only earned in the furnace of experience, their sound is the future that hip hop’s past would have had if its present weren’t held hostage by the uninspired and unrepentant. A flurry of solo projects later, Chicago’s prodigal sons return. Hip hoppers rejoice. Suckers duck and cover. Typical Cats come to conquer. Battle champs, hotline legends, poetry circuit kings.
QWAZAAR - A native of Chicago’s gritty Low End, Qwazaar strikes from hip hop’s essence.

Midgetto52 "Live Forever" is one of my favorite hiphop tracks. Also, the piano fill on "Snake Oil" is fantastic.
