Tennessee Hip Hop
Tennessee hip hop is rap from the state of Tennessee, dominated by Memphis and joined by smaller scenes in Nashville and Chattanooga.
Memphis supplies most of the state's sound: dark, bass-heavy beats, chanted hooks and quick flows, first heard on 1990s tapes by Three 6 Mafia and 8Ball & MJG. Yo Gotti and Young Dolph carried it into the trap era. Nashville's Young Buck came to notice with G-Unit, and Chattanooga's Isaiah Rashad records for the Top Dawg label.
Artists it is known for: Three 6 Mafia, 8Ball & MJG, Yo Gotti, Young Buck.
