Hyphy｜｜THE REAL ONE
History
————
The hyphy culture began to emerge in the late 1990s and early 2000s as a response from Bay Area rappers against commercial hip hop for not acknowledging their region for setting trends in the hip hop industry.
It is distinguished by gritty, pounding rhythms.
For many Bay Area natives it is crucial that Rapper Mac Dre is dubbed one of the head founders of the Hyphy Movement.

Resurgence in the 2010s
In the early to mid-2010s, the genre of hyphy music saw a resurgence in the mainstream as a part of being a stylistic influence to an up tempo and club oriented type of mainstream hip hop known as "ratchet music,"which was popularized by various Los Angeles producers, including DJ Mustard.
The production style of DJ Mustard is adapted from hyphy music and played a role in bringing West Coast hip hop back to national attention.
