Aboriginal hip hop music has been rising in popularity all over the world. Here’s why this unique genre is taking over the music scene.
What is Aboriginal Hip Hop?
Aboriginal hip hop is a sub-genre of hip hop music that is made by Indigenous people living in Australia, Canada, New Zealand and the United States. It emerged in the early 21st century and has since become popular all over the world.
The lyrics of Aboriginal hip hop songs often focus on the experiences of Indigenous people, especially those who live in urban areas. They often deal with issues such as racism, identity, culture and politics. Aboriginal hip hop artists often use their music to promote messages of peace, love and respect for all cultures.
One of the most popular Aboriginal hip hop groups is A Tribe Called Red, who are based in Ottawa, Canada. Their music combines traditional Aboriginal music with electronic dance music. They have won numerous awards and have been nominated for Grammy Awards.
Other popular Aboriginal hip hop artists include MC Iroh from Australia, NZ duo Flo & Eddie777 from New Zealand and FrankFoote from Canada.
Where did it come from?
This type of music has its origins in the hip hop and rap music that originated in the African American community in the 1970s. This music was created by African American youth as a way to express their experiences and culture, and it quickly became popular among other groups of people. In the early 2000s, Aboriginal people in Australia began to create their own version of hip hop and rap music, which they called ” Aboriginal Hip Hop.” This music is a mix of traditional Aboriginal sounds and instruments with modern hip hop and rap elements.

Aboriginal hip hop artists began to use their music to express their experiences as Aboriginal people, and to challenge the negative stereotypes that were often used to describe them.
