Manchester Hip Hop is a genre of music that originated in Manchester, England in the late 1980s. It is characterized by its use of samples, heavy bass lines, and a focus on lyrical content. It is often seen as a fusion of hip hop, grime, and UK garage. It is known for its hard-hitting beats and socially conscious lyrics, often addressing issues such as poverty, racism, and police brutality. It has been heavily influenced by the sounds of the city, such as the Manchester rave scene and the Manchester music scene. Artists such as Aitch, Bugzy Malone, and Avelino are some of the most popular artists in the genre.
