According to The Times (2003), “UK rap is a broad sonic church, encompassing anything made in Britain by musicians informed or inspired by hip-hop's possibilities.” This shows that rap and hip hop always work in integration. In contrast to the US, the UK Rap-Hip-Hop music has always been influenced by music of different cultures because of the amalgamation of different communities there. Initially, the migrated West Indians developed a group of people interested in hip hop music and ultimately live rapping and DJing started getting popularity in the parties and night clubs. Rappers like Adam and the Ants, Prince Charming and Malcolm McLaren are considered to the pioneering rappers in the UK. Whereas the song “London Bridge” by Newtrament is said to be the first British hip hop music. The first Rap-Hip-Hop artist who topped the UK musical charts was Derek-B. He debuted under Simon Harris’ label “Music of Life”. The success of Derek-B influenced Harris to sign other Rap-Hip-Hop groups like Hijack, the Demon Boyz, Son of Noise and MC Duke as well. Although, initially the British Rap-Hip-Hop was inspired by the US style. But later, with artist like Usher D Asher D, London Posse, Silver Bullet, Hardnoise and Caveman, the British Rap-Hip-Hop developed their unique style of music with a blend of different genres like hardcore, jazz and reggae in it. With the passage of time, a new generation overtook the Rap-Hip-Hop music scene. A new sound of electronica was also introduced and the typical hardcore style of Rap-Hip-Hop was started moving towards more melodic tunes. The artists who made their mark during the Nineties are Mark B, DJ Skitz, DJ Vadim and Stereo MCs.
Today, Rap-Hip-Hop music has become quite vast with its diverse influences from different cultural music. Artists like Bion, Foreign Beggars, Jehst, Nicky, Whitecoat and Usmaan have introduce a lot of creativity in the music, which eventually paid off due to their immense success. A new genre of grime was also introduced in the early 21st century by the artists like Kano, J-Dawg, Wiley and Ghetto. Whereas, Tinchy Stryder, Chipmunk, Goldie Lookin’ Chain and The Streets became the ultimate chart busting artists of the modern UK Rap-Hip-Hop scene. Even the female singers made their place in the British Rap-Hip-Hop music industry and the notable names include the chart topper Lady Sovereign, Estelle and Ms. Dynamite.
Nowadays Rap-Hip-Hop doesn’t belong to any specific kind of music but has incorporated different styles like hard rock, R & B, electronic, country, UK garage, punk, pop, gospel and Bhangra (Asian Punjabi music). The cultural diversity of the country never lets the popularity of this music decline. This is the main reason behind the chart topping songs of Rap-Hip-Hop music, which churns out every other day. On the other hand, the Rap-Hip-Hop music concerts are also very popular amongst the youngsters. The baggy trousers, stylish hoodies and vibrant clothing of these artists combined with hip hop music and live performances make the audience go wild.
