Greek Hip Hop

On air on Tasty TV — always on, pick a channel, not a video.

Greek hip hop is rap performed in Greek, from the conscious, sample-based crews of the 1990s to the melodic mainstream of the 2000s. It carries the language's own cadence and often draws on rebetiko and laïko themes of the city, work and defiance.

History

Took shape in the early-to-mid 1990s with pioneering crews like Terror X Crew and Active Member and the Thessaloniki 'Low Bap' sound; it reached a wide audience in the 2000s through Goin' Through and Stavento, before Greek trap took over the mainstream.
