Hyphy

Hyphy is a Hip Hop genre and cultural movement that originated in the Bay Area. It is characterized by raw, aggressive, and uptempo beats called "slappers," heavy bass, and a strong emphasis on synthesizers. Hyphy has a distinctive West Coast rhythm with claps on beats 2 and 4 and a resounding kick drum on beats 1, 2, and either 3 or 4, drawing comparisons to Crunk. The style includes intricate wordplay and zany lyrics, often delivered in an offbeat flow with a guttural tone. It was influenced by Bay Area hip hop and Funk but evolved into its unique sound.
