Mexican hip-hop

Mexican hip-hop is a form of hip-hop music from Mexico, performed by Mexican artists and artists of Mexican descent. The growth of hip-hop as a genre has led to various adaptations of it depending on a region and language.

Mexican hip-hop is different from Chicano rap. Mexican rap always has a gangster image since the 1990s (not all rappers) but their life styles are completely different from Chicanos reality.
