Houston Rap

Houston rap is a vibrant and eclectic genre that emerged in the 1990s, characterized by its unique blend of Southern drawl, chopped-and-screwed beats, and lyrical swagger. The genre's defining sound is marked by slow-to-mid tempo rhythms, often featuring heavy use of 808 drums, synthesizers, and jazz-infused melodies. Vocal styles range from laid-back, conversational flows to rapid-fire, double-time delivery. Born out of Houston's Third Ward and South Park neighborhoods, the genre evolved from the city's rich hip-hop heritage, influenced by DJ Screw's pioneering chopped-and-screwed style. By the early 2000s, Houston rap had gained widespread recognition, with its cultural significance extending beyond music to represent the city's African American and Latino communities. While sharing similarities with other Southern rap styles, Houston rap's distinct flavor is set apart by its relaxed, psychedelic vibe and often, a strong sense of hometown pride.
