Miami Hip Hop
Miami hip hop is rap from Miami, Florida, first known for Miami bass, a fast, bass-heavy party style of the 1980s.
Miami bass used booming Roland TR-808 kick drums, quick tempos and explicit lyrics, and 2 Live Crew made it notorious. In the 1990s and 2000s Trick Daddy, Trina and Rick Ross moved the city toward Southern street rap. Latin and Caribbean music also feed the scene, which sets it apart from other Southern cities.
Artists it is known for: 2 Live Crew, Trick Daddy, Trina, Rick Ross.
