Southern hip hop, also called southern rap, is a form of American Genre music influenced by hip hop that emerged from a late-1980s club-oriented vibe in southern U.S. cities, including New Orleans, Shreveport, Nashville, Atlanta, Houston, Charleston, Memphis, Virginia Beach, Charlotte, Raleigh-Durham, Birmingham, Mobile, Orlando, Tampa, Miami, Jacksonville, Jackson, and Baton Rouge.^[1]^[2]^[3] 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.^[4] Many early Southern rap artists released their music independently or on mixtapes after encountering difficulty securing record-label contracts in the 1990s.^[5]

For more information on music from one specific area, see Atlanta hip hop.
