Moroccan hip-hop

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from Moroccan hip hop)

Moroccan rap music is a Moroccan musical style related to rap and hip hop culture.[1]

History

[edit]

Moroccan's hip-hop and urban culture history dates back to the mid-1990s, when, after hip-hop's emergence in Western culture, Moroccan immigrant youth in Europe transferred the new musical style back to Morocco upon their returns home.

Rap and urban music have since gained a following in major urban centers in Morocco. Moroccan rap, a favorite genre for many Moroccans, especially Moroccan youth, speaks out and protests on social and political issues.[2][3]
