Sacramento Hip Hop

Sacramento Hip Hop is a subgenre of hip hop music that originated in Sacramento, California. It is characterized by its heavy use of samples, its incorporation of funk and soul elements, and its lyrical focus on the struggles of life in the city. It is often characterized by its laid-back, mellow sound, and its use of samples from classic soul and funk records. Sacramento Hip Hop is often associated with the Bay Area's hyphy movement, and is often seen as a more laid-back alternative to the more aggressive sound of gangsta rap.
