Spanish hip hop
Spanish hip hop music began in the late 1980s. Spanish hip hop was mainly in Puerto Rico for a few years, but then it came to continental America. By being very popular in America it became popular in other places.
In 1989 Troya Dscs&Rcrs label released the first Spanish hip hop LP: Madrid Hip Hop, a compilation of four bands from the province of Madrid: DNI, Estado Crítico, Sindicato del Crimen and QSC. The record presented two cuts of each band.
Later in 1989, Ariola major label tried a new push to establish some hip hop stars, with a new compilation of Madrilene hip hop music: Rappin Madrid, introduced more soloists and groups, like MC Randy & D.J. Jonco.
Both attempts mostly failed, but helped to establish a viable scene in Madrid.
During the 90's a slow expansion was taken, and underground hip hop reached many listeners over the years. The most important places of Spanish hip hop, apart from Madrid (with a very important contribution from CPV, Fresh Boy, Chirie Vegas, Costa, Wase & J. Sánchez, Yako Muñoz, Xcese, Primer Dan, Mitsuruggy), are Barcelona (7 Notas 7 Colores, Kunta K, Wario, ARG), Valencia (Johnny Doc, Àngel), Asturias (Johnny Fontane, Gee Malee, Urban P.) and Málaga (Triple XXX, Jefe de la M).
Now, Spain contains a very important people who are introducing a lot music in United States like DJ Jooz, who released mixtapes with people like with Ace Hood, Trae, or Rasheeda. He is a member of Slipe-N-Side Records and is the most important and active DJ from Spain. Producers like Slash Major, who introduced the Trap[disambiguation needed
