Dungeon rap is a subgenre of hip hop that combines elements of dungeon synth with 1990s memphis rap inspired beats.[1]
History[edit]
The genre was created and pioneered by Ukrainian producer DJ Sacred (real name: Alex Yatsun) in the late 2010s with the release of his album "Dungeon Rap: The Introduction" on Bandcamp, featuring fellow Ukrainian producer DJ Bishop (real name: Nikita Radivilov), as well as featuring tracks published under his aliases, DJ Armok and Pillbox.[2]
Characteristics[edit]
It is characterised as having long introductions to the tracks, slow tempo (around the range of 50-65 BPM) as well as the focus on a dark atmosphere and double-time flow.[3] Dungeon rap, similarly to phonk, is a mainly instrumental genre and if present, vocals featured on tracks are taken from 1990s memphis rap vocals or black metal vocal samples. Sometimes, the artist may also use their own vocals. Album covers use styles and aesthetics reminiscent of underground memphis rap beat tapes or black metal demos from the 1990s.[4] Dungeon rap mainly thrives on music streaming services Bandcamp & SoundCloud and is also prevalent on social media sites like YouTube, Instagram and VK.[5]
