Italian hip hop, also known as rap italiano, is a genre characterized by its blend of American hip hop's rhythmic and lyrical styles with Italian language and cultural sensibilities. Emerging in the late 1980s, the genre gained popularity in the 1990s with groups like Club Dogo, who infused hip hop with Italian folk and Mediterranean music elements. By the 2010s, Italian hip hop had evolved into a distinct sound, marked by its use of trap beats, melodic flows, and introspective lyrics often focusing on themes of social commentary, personal struggle, and street life. Notably, the genre has been influenced by American hip hop, Italian folk, and Mediterranean music, yet its unique blend of styles and Italian language has set it apart from other European hip hop scenes. Italian hip hop has played a significant role in contemporary Italian music culture, providing a voice for marginalized communities and influencing a younger generation of artists and fans.
