Chi-town representative Twista has been laying down Midwest mobsta rap since his collaboration with Do Or Die on their 1996 single "Po Pimp." His swiftly spit flows revel in gangsta imagery, with colorful hustler episodes laid over smooth keyboard-driven production. Twista's Windy City style has transcended his locale, spreading from coast to coast on the strength of three albums in three years. In early 2004, Twista scored a huge hit with the Kanye West collaboration "Slow Jamz," and his LP Kamikazee soared to the top of the charts.
