Dark rap is an ominous and atmospheric subgenre of hip-hop that blends eerie beats, haunting melodies, and raw, often introspective lyricism. It frequently incorporates horrorcore, phonk, and trap influences, resulting in a moody, immersive sound defined by distorted bass, ghostly samples, and shadowy themes of inner demons, struggles, and the supernatural. Artists in the genre often use deep or whispered vocal deliveries, creating an unsettling yet hypnotic experience. With its mix of gritty realism and nightmarish imagery, dark rap offers a unique blend of menace and melancholy, drawing listeners into a sonic world of mystery and intensity.
