Southern hip hop
Southern hip hop (also known as Dirty South hip hop) is a form of
hip hop music that emerged in the late-1990s as a popular force from cities such as
Dallas,
Charlotte,
Atlanta,
Raleigh-Durham,
Memphis,
Jackson,
Nashville,
Houston,
Shreveport,
Orlando,
Louisville,
Tampa,
Jacksonville,
Austin,
Columbia,
Greenville,
Charleston,
New Orleans,
Miami, and
San Antonio. In the 1980s, the rise and spread of
hip hop culture from
New York City and
California spurred cities in the
Southern United States to develop and nurture their own respective hip hop scenes. Without large
urban markets like New York City and Los Angeles, major
record labels largely ignored the south for decades. Southern rap artists were forced to release their music independently. The
mixtape scene has factored largely in the success of many of today's southern rap artists that were once sneered and reviled by many on the Coasts.
