Hong Kong hip hop today

The presence of hip hop music in Hong Kong in the shadows of Cantopop is reflected by collaborations between rappers such as MC Yan (of LMF), FAMA, 24 Herbs, KT, and MC Jin with pop artists such as Edison Chen, Nikki Chow, and Stephanie Cheng.

Nowadays, Hong Kong hip hop is getting more common by mainstream audiences than the LMF period.
