Punk Rap

Punk Rap emerged in the 1980s when rebellious spirits from the punk scene decided shouting over beats was a jolly good way to channel their angst. It sounds like a raucous blend of aggressive beats and spoken word; think grumpy poetry set to music that makes you want to pogo and have a bit of a rave at the same time. This genre has proven that no amount of leather jackets or safety pins can mask a good lyrical jab, leading to an enduring legacy of social commentary wrapped in aggressive flair.
