The Hip Hop music style, closely associated and often interchangeable with the rap style is a type of popular music that consists of two different elements: rapping (MC'ing) and DJ'ing (mixing audio and record scratching). Hip hop music emerged alongside breakdancing and graffiti, popularized in the inner-city youth culture in New York City in the early 1970s. A characteristic of Hip Hop music in its original form is that it is performed by one or more rappers telling autobiographical stories through rhythmic, poetic spoken word accompanied by a beat-centric instrumental track. Often the beat of Hip Hop songs is created using percussion and instrumental samples from other songs in the funk, rock or soul genres.

Hip hop music is a unique, progressive style that attracts experimental artists with a deep love for diverse music styles, and many with strong poetic skills seek out background beats that compliment their performances and help contribute to the originality of their words. Similarly, many film and television producers use Hip Hop music as a part of their soundtracks, particularly as a part of projects that paint a picture of the youth culture or of the city landscape. Many professionals and artists find it difficult to find appropriate Hip Hop music for their many endeavors, and find themselves faced with the high cost of Hip Hop music from major music providers or else inadequate selection.
