Toronto rap, also known as the "6" sound, is a distinct genre of hip-hop emerging from the city's diverse neighborhoods. Characterized by its dark, melodic beats, often incorporating elements of UK drill and grime, Toronto rap is marked by its heavy, syncopated rhythms and introspective, often melancholic lyrics. Born out of the city's vibrant street culture, the genre gained momentum in the mid-2010s, reflecting the experiences of Toronto's youth, including themes of poverty, violence, and resilience. With its unique blend of Caribbean, African, and American influences, Toronto rap has become a cultural phenomenon, resonating with fans worldwide. Notable for its fusion of streetwise authenticity and melodic sensibility, Toronto rap stands out from other regional styles, forging a distinctive sound that is both gritty and anthemic.
