Description

Pop rap blends hip-hop's rhythmic vocals with pop music's catchy melodies and mainstream appeal. It emerged in the late 1980s and features accessible hooks, polished production, and themes ranging from personal struggles to celebration. The genre dominates charts by making rap's edge more radio-friendly.
