Audio: Hip-hop

Hip-hop is a cultural movement and musical genre that emerged in the Bronx in the 1970s. It unites rap (rhythmic spoken lyrics), DJing, breakdance, and graffiti.

Hip-hop is one of the most powerful cultural phenomena of the past 50 years. Born in New York's Black neighborhoods, where DJs spun records at street parties, hip-hop grew into the global language of youth.

Eras: old school 1970s–early 1980s (Grandmaster Flash); new school (Run-DMC); golden age mid-1980s–1990s (Public Enemy, A Tribe Called Quest, Wu-Tang Clan, Nas, Biggie, Tupac); gangsta rap (Ice-T, N.W.A., Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg); modern trap (Kendrick Lamar, Travis Scott, Drake). The Ukrainian hip-hop scene exploded in the 2010s: TNMK (pioneers since 1989), Garazh 7, Kalyan, Alyona Alyona (who reached the world stage), Jerry Heil, Yarmak, Skryabin. Ukrainian hip-hop became the voice of young independent Ukraine.
