New Orleans Rap
New Orleans rap is hip hop from New Orleans, Louisiana, rooted in bounce music and the 1990s labels Cash Money and No Limit.
Bounce is the city's own party style: fast, repetitive beats, call-and-response chants and shout-outs to neighborhoods. In the late 1990s Master P's No Limit and the Cash Money label, with producer Mannie Fresh, turned that energy into national hits by Juvenile and Lil Wayne. The city's brass band and parade rhythms give its rap a looser swing than other Southern scenes.
Artists it is known for: Master P, Juvenile, Lil Wayne, Big Freedia.
