Romanian hip hop

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Romanian hip hop is currently growing in popularity in Romania. The sound is similar to that of Spanish and most Latin acts. The main theme is politics, based on anti-system protest, and social, underlining the rich-poor gap and the low quality of the new, post-Communist, enriched class. Bucharest is the main center, since most of other bands/rappers from outside the city would still come there for recording.

Once dominated by BUG Mafia (Bucharest Underground Mafia), the market is currently the fiefdom of Paraziţii. An important moment in Romanian hip hop history was the support Morometzii gave to Traian Băsescu and his centrist political alliance during 2004, through the anti-system (in fact against the then-ruling Social Democratic Party) songs România, trezeşte-te ! (English Romania, wake up !) and În luptǎ cu Puterea (English Fighting the Power).
