East Coast (Rap & Hip-hop)
East Coast rap is a regional subgenre of hip hop music that originated in New York City during the 1970s. It became characterized by multi-syllabic rhymes, complex wordplay, a continuous free-flowing delivery and intricate metaphors. Although East Coast hip hop can vary in sound and style, "aggressive" beats and the combining of samples were common to the subgenre in the mid- to late 1980s. Notable actis include Nas, Jay-Z and The Notorious B.I.G.
