Slovak hip hop

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Slovak hip hop is said to have begun in 1988. Long-running crews are Lúza and [Drvivá Menšina, who perform together as Názov Stavby with DJ Hajtkovič. Vec, formerly of the seminal duo Trosky, is considered by many today to be the most influential figure within hip hop music in Slovakia, although newer acts such as A.M.O, Čistychov, Kontrafakt and MC Vrabec have also gained significant popularity since 2003.

Nearly all Slovak hip hop artists rap in Slovak and often collaborate with Czech PSH,Dj Wich, Polish WWO and Russian P-13 artists. The only artist of late to have attempted rapping in English, Helicó, is maligned by both the public and other rap artists.^{[citation needed]}

No female rappers have as yet made an impact on the Slovak hip hop scene.
