Westcoast flow is a genre of hip-hop music that emerged in the 2010s, characterized by its laid-back, melodic sound and heavy use of California-inspired slang. The genre is defined by its relaxed, G-Funk-influenced beats, often featuring prominent use of synthesizers and live instrumentation. Vocal styles range from smooth, drawling flows to more aggressive, lyrical deliveries, often with a focus on storytelling and vivid depictions of everyday life in Los Angeles. Westcoast flow draws heavily from classic West Coast hip-hop, while also incorporating elements of trap and contemporary R&B. The genre has become a staple of the Los Angeles music scene, providing a platform for artists to showcase their unique perspectives on life in the city. Its cultural significance lies in its authentic representation of LA's diverse communities and its ability to blend nostalgic references with modern production techniques, setting it apart from other styles within the broader hip-hop genre.
