Little Rock Hip Hop is a subgenre of Southern hip hop developed by hip hop musicians from Little Rock, Arkansas and surrounding areas. It is a mix of Memphis rap, Southern rap, Snap music, Crunk, and Gangsta rap. Little Rock has a good hip hop scene, with unique voices and good beats and a lot of songs representing the "ARK" Little Rock with a population of 184,000 looks and seems like a larger city but with a country feel, it's a very diverse city too, a lot of different cultures are there,and a lot of the local acts perform during the big Juneteenth celebration, near the river downtown Little Rock (where they also have the Riverfest celebration in May), big-time singers and rappers are always performing in Little Rock and at the Juneteenth (one of the biggest juneteenth celebrations in the south) also. Little Rock hip hop comes from dancing, southern cooking and southern talk and good-looking women or spirituality or how people look down on Arkansas, showing off cars, and rapping and singing about the hard rough streets of Little Rock, known for the gangbanging in the 90's, it is not as bad it just lowered down a bit, but the streets are still hard and that is represented here, East End, West Side, the North, Southwest, the Southside, Rose City, College STation, Pike AVE, Roosevelt, Woodson, John Barrow, and many people believe that Little Rock is the next city to blow, it definitly has the capability. It's even more hip hop and R&B artists then are elisted down below. We even have our own trend here in Little Rock called the Razorbacks and we do the Jump Rope and wear the grillz. But not just Little Rock with the talent, hip hop has spread all over Arkansas and has good sounds in many towns like Fort Smith (A-state ENT and Soufland), the talented mostly Black town of Pine Bluff(A-state Hustlers and more), West Memphis(ARTT and more), El Dorado(Rod.D and more), Dumas(Mary Jane Click and more) and more. Hip hop and R&B is really exploding in the state, mostly the central Arkansas section, which is Little Rock, but it's growing all over.So yeah Little Rock is ready and after that the rest of Arkansas.And that's just hip hop and R&B, the city also have people talented in other subjects like writing or country music or blues, it has a lot of talent, but here we're focusing on hip hop and R&B, so yall get ready for Little Rock, Arkansas! www.myspace.com/realact!A lot of the local acts do everything to be known, hustling, selling CDs out of trunks, putting up flyers, big concerts, hitting the hottest clubs or hangouts in the city and one day it will pay off, Little Rock will come and then the rest of Arkansas and next maybe is Oklahoma, that's another story to write up...lol
