Lo-fi rap is a subgenre of hip-hop characterized by its nostalgic, mellow, and often introspective vibe, blending the rhythmic cadence of rap with the soothing, imperfect textures of lo-fi music. Emerging with artists like Chris Wright, khai dreams, and Eli Noir, it features minimalistic beats, ambient soundscapes, and often incorporates elements of jazz, soul, and indie. Lo-fi rap vocals tend to be laid-back and thoughtful, addressing themes ranging from personal struggles to everyday musings, thereby creating an intimate and relatable atmosphere. The genre’s raw, unpolished production aesthetic, marked by vinyl crackles, tape hiss, and ambient noise, offers a soothing contrast to the high-energy bravado of mainstream rap.
