Intro

EastcoastHipHop

A highly influential style of Hip Hop that developed in New York City, particularly in the South Bronx, during the seventies. It's history can be traced back as far as the Hip Hop genre itself. While East Coast Hip Hop's complex development and endless permutations can never be summed up by one particular sound, the late eighties and early nineties specifically saw a number of artists define themselves by hard-hitting, sample-heavy production, as well as lyricism with both a refined social conscience and trademark aggression. At its most basic definition, East Coast Rap is rap that encompasses any artists or music that originated in the eastern seaboard region of the United States.
