Florida rap is a subgenre characterized by its melodic, emotive sound, often blending hip-hop with elements of trap, cloud rap, and punk. Emerging in the mid-2010s, it originated in South Florida, particularly in cities like Pompano Beach and Jacksonville. The genre's defining features include heavy, distorted 808s, atmospheric synths, and introspective, often melancholic lyrics delivered in a laid-back, drawling flow. Notable for its raw, unpolished energy and streetwise authenticity, Florida rap has become a cultural phenomenon, resonating with a generation of young people disillusioned with mainstream hip-hop. With its DIY ethos and genre-bending approach, Florida rap has drawn comparisons to punk's anti-establishment spirit and the experimentalism of cloud rap, setting it apart from traditional Southern hip-hop.
