The Cranberry Show

Milwaukee MCs Arcane and Young Focus call themselves The Cranberry Show because, as your friendly neighborhood urologist will tell you, cranberries help to clean out your system, and that’s exactly what they want to do with hip-hop. Recalling willfully individualistic and goofy Chicago rappers like The Cool Kids and Lupe Fiasco, The Cranberry Show has been steadily gaining traction in Milwaukee’s hip-hop scene, not to mention the national one. The duo’s lively concerts and three infectious LPs—the latest of which is this year’s Paranormal Karaoke—are a big reason why.
