29 Days of Black History | Day 17 | Snap Music

Today, 2/17/2020, we pay homage to Snap Music... Snap music (also known as ringtone rap or snap rap) is a subgenre of hip hop music derived from crunk[2] that originated in the South in the late-1990s, in Bankhead, West Atlanta, the United States.[3] It achieved mainstream popularity throughout the mid-late 2000s, but declined shortly thereafter. Popular snap artists include D4L, Dem Franchize Boys and K-Rab. Tracks commonly consist of an 808 bass drum, hi-hat, bass, snapping, a main groove and a vocal track.[3] Many snap songs may also incorporate whistling.[4] Hit snap songs include "Do It to It" by Cherish, "Lean Wit It, Rock Wit It" by Dem Franchize Boys, "Snap Yo Fingers" by Lil Jon, "Laffy Taffy" by D4L, "It's Goin' Down" by Yung Joc and "Crank That (Soulja Boy)" by Soulja Boy Tell 'Em,[3] and voted one of "The 15 Best Snap Music Songs Of All-Time" is "Look At Her" by One Chance.[5] Crunk has been called the "predecessor of snap".[3][6] Hip hop DX magazine described snap music as a "laid back version of its forbearer, crunk music".[7]     #29DaysOfBlackHistory    *Putting People On Game does not own any rights to this music or images* Hit us up or send us a text 214-744-3601!
