We know what rap is today, but not everyone knows where it came from and how it started. Today we will discuss rap and its evolution. Grandmaster Flash, Public Enemy, Tupac, Kanye West and Lil Pump — by looking at these artists and their music, we can see that rap has changed over the years.

This podcast was created with production support from Aliyah Musaliar and edited by Ann Kane.
