Furthermore, few Midwest rappers had hits as big as "Ain't No Future in Yo' Frontin'," the song that put Breed on the map for years to follow and kept this album on the Billboard R&B charts for a year.
As mentioned, it's one of the first rap albums to come out of the Midwest, merging the then-opposing East and West Coast sounds of the time.
His later albums are no doubt more polished, but none of them are as pure as this, one of the few albums to vividly document the embryonic Midwest rap scene of the time.

As a solo artist, Twista released "Adrenaline Rush" in 1997, selling 400,000 albums and announcing that Midwest rap truly had a place in hip-hop culture.
In keeeping with the purist school of lyricism, Twista has built his reputation on what used to be the most important skill of an MC-the ability to battle.
Twista and the Speed Knot Mobstaz have made an album that is not just good Chicago rap, but a work that has the ability to reach all audiences.

It's this sincerity and experience that sets him apart from his wannabe peers, making him one of the Midwest's most notorious hardcore rappers.
By 1995 the trio had released their first album, What's on My Mind?, followed a year later by the gold-selling F.B.I. While both albums generated a substantial amount of attention and hype in the underground hardcore rap scene, the law unfortunately intervened, and the group members soon found themselves behind bars for various crimes.

 Hip-hop heartland / Nelly and Eminem make the Midwest a rap hot spot   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
Thanks to the rise of the Southern sound epitomized by Atlanta artists like OutKast and Ludacris, regional rap is all the rage -- and the region at the center of the map right now is, both culturally and geographically, miles from hip-hop's traditional East and West Coast strongholds.
In the '90s, Bone Thugs-N-Harmony put Cleveland on the charts, and Chicago rapper Common remains a force in the national conscious hip-hop scene.
Rather than an identifiable "Midwest sound," there are instead multiple sounds from artists whose ties are regional, not stylistic: The rapid-fire rhyming of Chicago's Twista bears little resemblance to the laid-back bounce of St. Louis' Pretty Willie Suella.

Murphy Lee has been on the road to support other Midwest rappers and his new record 'Murphy's Law.' He's enjoyed his good fortune, especially when fans can chant the raps right along with him at concerts.
Murphy Lee may have released his first solo album less than a year ago, but as a member of the St. Lunatics, he's been part of the ever-growing Midwest rap movement for a few years now.
But Murphy Lee is earning points with fans by hitting the road and being accessible — a trait not usually associated with rap artists.

 MC Breed - 20 Below: Reviews, Track Listing, Audio Clips, and more ||| Music.com
Following an unexpectedly successful debut album, driven by the hit single "Ain't No Future in Yo' Frontin'," that made him one of the -- if not the -- Midwest's first rap superstars, MC Breed went gangsta for his second album.
Blame N.W.A. and the rest of the West Coast, which was on the rise in a major way at the time, if you want, but Breed definitely abandoned much of the open-minded, East-crossed-with-West style that characterized his unique debut album and adopted an Ice Cube-like posture for 20 Below.
Where Breed had been quite socially conscious in a positive way on his debut, showing more than a little Chuck D influence, he is socially conscious in a negative way here, being more exploitative than passionate.
