Seattle Hip Hop is a subgenre of hip hop music that originated in Seattle, Washington in the late 1980s and early 1990s. It is characterized by its dark, gritty sound, often featuring heavy bass and drums, and its lyrical content which often focuses on the struggles of life in the city. Seattle Hip Hop is heavily influenced by the city's punk and grunge scenes, and is often seen as a more aggressive and experimental form of hip hop. Artists associated with the genre include Sir Mix-A-Lot, Macklemore, and Shabazz Palaces.
