Super Bowl LII was a big night for musicians, whether it was Justin Timberlake headlining the halftime show, Pink performing a powerful National Anthem, or Cardi B starring in one of the night's biggest hit ads for Amazon's Alexa.

It was also a big night for Milwaukee rapper WebsterX. His song "Intuition" was featured in a Super Bowl ad for the Microsoft Surface, starring Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald.
WebsterX's verses, unfortunately, weren't used in the spot, but the song's beat, from New York-based producer Simen Sez, serves as the ad's soundtrack.
One of the star players in Milwaukee's hip-hop renaissance, WebsterX started getting national press from the likes of Entertainment Weekly and Complex Media in 2015, and was one of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel's Wisconsin Bands to Watch in 2016.
He released his debut full-length album "Daymares" last March, featuring "Intuition." It was No. 1 on the Journal Sentinel's best Milwaukee albums of 2017 list.
