Andalusian rap. Málaga's case

I guess everybody already knows that rap is a type of music that is spoken, not sung, in rhyme to the rhythm of a music beat. The word rap comes from a 1960s slang word for conversation. Often, rap music uses bits of other songs to provide a beat (in the case of Andalusia, it's often flamenco and reggae). As most rap songs center around daily life, often focusing on the hardships and violence that are often a big part of life in big cities, we could consider rap “street poetry” (poesía callejera). Rap had never attracted my attention before settling myself in Andalusia, but here it's appealing. For this reason, I'm ready to claim that rap andaluz (or rap español, looking at it in the bigger picture, though) may be the best there is. Without mentioning the thrilling presentation, it's noteworthy only because of the dialect. At that, my today's post is dedicated to raperos malagueños for the creation of the rap artists from Seville and Málaga being the core of Andalusian rap, at least that is what my understanding is so far. There are a lot of outstanding pieces available on YouTube, both individual projects and collaborations, as it's a common practice among local rap artists to collaborate with other doers; perhaps the best known of them being Gordo Master, Jefe de la M, Little Pepe, Ijah, El Niño Snake, Triple XXX, Keyo, Rook Jack and Juho.

Without further ado here's a selection of their work for your inspiration. Enjoy!
