Music Styles Hip Hop
Hip hop is a genre of music characterized by a rhythmic vocal style called rap, which is often accompanied by beats, scratching, and sampling. Originating in the African American communities of New York City in the 1970s, hip hop has since grown into a global cultural phenomenon. The genre often addresses social and political issues, as well as personal experiences and stories. Hip hop music can vary widely in style, from the old-school sounds of the 1980s to the more modern trap and mumble rap styles popular today.
