[Video] Spenzo: "Wife Er"
Chicago native Spenzo has seen his name pop up on radio stations and websites across the country on the strength of his 2013 Young Chop-produced hit single "Wife Er," off his latest project, In Spenzo We Trust. Last night, the track got a visual treatment that helps explains Spenzo's policy on women these days. The track is already burning up the streets here in Chicago, with a proper video alongside it, "Wife Er" may just become the next big hit to come out of Chicago recently.

Top Chicago Rappers of 2013
Chicago hip-hop has enjoyed a certain popularity increase over the past couple of years. Where 2012 saw the rise of Chief Keef and "Drill", 2013 brought about a new flavor as listeners from across the country, initially hooked by the drill sound, began to explore the vibrantly eclectic different sides of the city and variety of sounds that make up what is the flourishing Chicago scene today. With seemingly everyone's eyes on the Midwest and so many talented artist rising from the area, we decided to compile a list of the top hip-hop artists from Chicago that had the biggest years in 2013. We based our decisions off of releases, co-signs, shows/tours and general influence throughout to put together who we thought had the best top to bottom 12 month cycles since this time last year. You may not agree with all of our decisions, so let us know in the comments. Without further ado, I give you the Chicago's hip-hop artists that elevated their game the most in 2013.
