Hip-hop has arguably been the best genre of music in the past two
decades. As hip-hop maintains its title, a lot has changed about the genre,
such as the lyrics. Hip-hop has two phases, old school and new school
each of which give off a different vibe.

Old school “hip-hop” has music based prevalently on African American
culture. Artists such as Tupac, Biggie Smalls, and Eazy-E often rap about
the struggles of growing up in a racialized environment and the work they
put in to get recognition they earned.

Old school hip-hop is still popular today and is regarded as “classic” by
many hip-hop fans. SONAR ROOM is turning back the clock with a night of
classic old school sound from local DJ’s mixed with live local rap artists to
keep things super fresh.
