Jazz Rap — the sophistication of jazz and the rhythms of hip-hop

Jazz Rap is an elegant subgenre of hip-hop that combines classic elements of jazz with the rhythmic structure and delivery of rap. The style emerged in the late 1980s as an alternative to street gangsta rap, offering listeners an intellectual, melodic, and thoughtful sound.

A brief history of Jazz Rap:

The genre took shape in New York thanks to artists like A Tribe Called Quest, De La Soul, Guru (especially in the Jazzmatazz project), and Digable Planets. It became the voice of educated, culturally-minded rappers seeking a balance between art and hip-hop.

Later, the style inspired artists such as The Roots, Common, Mos Def, Kendrick Lamar (especially on the album To Pimp a Butterfly), Joey Bada$$, and Loyle Carner.
