Afroswing is a genre of UK urban music that blends Afrobeat, dancehall, and hip-hop elements with a distinctly British flavor. Characterized by its infectious, laid-back rhythms, often in 3/4 time, and typically featuring a mix of live instrumentation and electronic production, afroswing is marked by its bright, percussive sound and catchy, melodic hooks. Emerging in the mid-2010s, the genre drew on the UK's rich African and Caribbean cultural heritage, as well as the influence of American trap and drill. Afroswing's popularity peaked around 2017-2019, with its carefree, summery vibe capturing the hearts of young British audiences. As a genre, afroswing is notable for its fusion of African and British styles, setting it apart from other UK rap and grime forms. Its lyrical focus on everyday life, relationships, and street culture also distinguishes it from more politically charged genres, making afroswing a unique and refreshing addition to the UK music scene.
