Hometown:Milwaukee, Wisconsin
Genre:Hip-Hop
Why We're Excited:Rapper WebsterX has already become a widely beloved figure in his hometown — a debt he repays by shouting out the Milwaukee Bucks in "Intuition" — and he's got the enormous, stage-stealing charisma to break big outside the Midwest. A strong introduction to his sound, WebsterX's debut album Daymares nicely encapsulates his ability to explore the way an unquiet mind needn't be devoid of hope or uplift.
