Post-Rap

Umbrella term for rap music which incorporates elements of post-punk, post-rock, industrial vibes into hiphop. Traditional flow and rhyming schemes are often overlooked or completely dispensed with, vocals often take form of noise; intentional disharmony is not uncommon. Sometimes music is altogether absent, and vocals go acapella in the form of slam poetry. Psychedelic sounds, electro funk music with minimalist/repititve lyrics are often included. Post-rap may be used for many different sounds, each of which could lead and branch out to different genres over time but they're all experimental, avant-garde and politically aware in nature, deeply rooted in underground/alternative hiphop scene. Artists/groups known to have post-rap works in their agenda include Death Grips, Hed PE, The Uncluded, Panik, Billy Woods, Everlast, Eyedea, Sage Francis, Saul Williams, Jneiro Jarel, Buck 65
