Hip-hop emerged from the Bronx in the 1970s as a voice for marginalized communities, evolving into one of the most influential cultural movements in history. The artists featured on this deck represent different eras and styles within hip-hop, from East Coast to West Coast, from conscious rap to gangsta rap, each contributing unique perspectives and sounds that shaped the genre.
