Phonk

Phonk is a hypnotic subgenre of hip hop that emerged in the early 2010s, blending gritty Memphis rap with the atmospheric haze of 90s Southern hip hop. Characterized by its use of eerie samples, slowed-down vocals, and lo-fi beats, Phonk often incorporates elements of jazz, funk, and soul to create a nostalgic yet haunting soundscape. With its roots in the underground scene, Phonk has gained a global following, resonating with listeners through its dark, introspective vibe and rebellious spirit.
