Description
The "New York" music genre represents the diverse hip-hop sound that emerged from NYC's five boroughs, characterized by hard-hitting drums, jazz samples, and gritty street narratives. It emphasizes lyrical complexity, boom-bap production, and authentic urban storytelling that reflects the city's multicultural energy. This style became the foundation of East Coast rap culture and influenced global hip-hop.
