Genre:

Instrumental hip hop

Instrumental hip hop is a subgenre of hip hop music that focuses solely on the instrumental track, omitting the vocal rap element. This format allows producers to create more complex, detailed, and varied instrumentals that can explore various musical directions and subgenres. While instrumental hip hop has existed since the inception of hip hop, notable early examples include Herbie Hancock and Bill Laswell's 1983 album Future Shock and the hit single "Rockit," which featured turntablism and record scratching. Instrumental hip hop can range from collections of beats to conceptual albums, and releases may include unused beats or instrumentals from specific albums.
