Florida Rap

Florida Rap is a vibrant and eclectic genre that blends Southern hip-hop influences with the state's diverse cultural backdrop, characterized by its energetic beats, infectious hooks, and often gritty, raw lyrical content. Emerging in the late 1980s, Florida Rap gained prominence through pioneers like 2 Live Crew, who combined Miami bass with provocative themes, setting the stage for future artists such as Trick Daddy and Rick Ross. Known for its regional diversity, the genre encompasses a variety of styles, from the party-centric sounds of Miami to the more introspective and hard-hitting narratives found in other parts of the state.
