Where should I start w/ Midwest Rap?

[J.E.D.I.]

I just signed up (though I've been reading these forums for a little) and I wanted to know where I should start with midwest rap, 'cause this is an area I honestly know nothing about (past a little Twista, Bone Thugs, and Dayton Family). What albums/rappers/groups would you recommend I check out?

 

[D-Skrilla]

Without makin too deep of a list I would start off with

Psychodrama
Top Authority
Quarta Ounce
Chilldrin Of Da Ghetto
Lyrikal Warfare
The Legendary Traxster
Project Born
Do Or Die
Triple Darkness
Rich The Factor
Tech N9ne
Outside
First Battalion
Jake The Flake
Flint Fharmacy

And because of clicks and features those people should also put u into other rappers worth checkin out. ie Psychodrama>Triple Darkness>D-Fly>etc.
