Southern hip hop, also called southern rap, is a form of American hip hop music that emerged from a late-1980s club-oriented vibe in southern U.S. cities, including Dallas, Fort Worth, Arlington, Houston, San Antonio, Nashville, Atlanta, Memphis, Birmingham, New Orleans, Miami, Orlando and Baton Rouge.[1] The music was a reaction to the 1980s flow of hip hop culture from New York City and California, and can be considered a third major American hip hop genre, after East Coast hip hop and West Coast hip hop.[2] Many early Southern rap artists released their music independently or on mixtapes after encountering difficulty securing record-label contracts in the 1990s.[3]
