Category: Rap / Hip-Hop

Rap and hip-hop are two distinct but closely related music genres that have become increasingly popular in recent years. Rap is characterized by its focus on lyrical content, often featuring spoken or shouted verses that are delivered rhythmically over a beat. Hip-hop, on the other hand, is a broader cultural movement that encompasses not only music but also dance, fashion, and visual art. It originated in the African American communities of the Bronx, New York City in the 1970s.

Rap and hip-hop are known for their diverse and dynamic sounds, with many subgenres such as trap, underground, old school, and conscious rap. Some of the most popular and influential rap and hip-hop artists include Kendrick Lamar, J. Cole, Drake, and Cardi B.
