East Coast rap is a subgenre of hip-hop known for its lyrical complexity, gritty beats, and raw storytelling. Rooted in the boom-bap production style, it often features hard-hitting drum patterns, jazzy or soulful samples, and deep basslines. The lyrics emphasize wordplay, introspection, and street narratives, reflecting urban struggles, ambition, and resilience. Modern interpretations blend classic influences with melodic flows and contemporary trap elements. Artists in this genre carry on the tradition of sharp lyricism and authentic storytelling while evolving the sound with unique deliveries and diverse production choices.
