The history of Chicago house music is full of names that are often hailed as "legends," but only a handful of Windy City artists have truly had the same kind of impact as Tyree Cooper. His time as one of house music's movers and shakers actually traces back to the mid '80s, but it was Cooper's role as one of the innovators of hip-house in the late '80s and early '90s that catapulted him to another level entirely.
