St Louis Rap

St. Louis Rap is a vibrant subgenre that blends Midwest sensibilities with a Southern flair, characterized by its catchy hooks, melodic flows, and rhythmic storytelling. Emerging in the late 1990s and early 2000s, it gained national attention through artists like Nelly and the St. Lunatics, who infused their music with local slang and themes rooted in the city's diverse culture. Known for its infectious beats and laid-back yet energetic delivery, St. Louis Rap continues to influence and evolve within the broader hip-hop landscape.
