Indie-Rap music | Indie-Rap music

Times are changing people and I think Indie-rap music will be the next big genre. I know that Indie-rap music is not established yet, some of you might even be thinking what is this. Indie-rap music is a genre of music in itself, as you can tell, the two genres Indie and Rap merged into one. The production side I believe will be more indie and the lyrical side will feature rappers. There have been other people that have told me it will be the other way round, i.e rapper and indie musicians doing vocals on rap beats (with an indie element). Rap music needs to move forward in a direction and if it doesn’t it will become a terrible commodity like the one it is slowly becoming now.

Indie-rap music will star many great rappers and indie bands. For example Chester French is a band that I talked about earlier, these guys are combining some of the production skills from both genre’s to create Indie-rap music. They have even worked with Jay-Z, this is Indie-rap music. This is a recent explosion of many rock artists loving the new scene that is forming.

You also probably heard of Jay-z in an interview, he was recently spotted at a Grizzly bear gig and he said that it was great. He also agreed that Rap music needs to go in this direction f learn to be individual again. I agree with him, as this truly is going to be the birth of a new era and many collaborations. The grey album by dangermouse was another album which was Indie-rap music, it was jay-z and the beatles on the same album. This was a huge success and made danger mouse a recognised producer within the music industry. Things like this are beginning to happen a lot more than they used to (prior to the internet) I’m sure Jay-z has rapped over a guitar before and he wouldn’t mind doing it again, Indie-rap music is coming people.

P diddy also moshed out in a mosh pit with fans of arctic monkey’s and enjoyed a great talk to them after the show in NYC, this proves, or at least suggests that Indie-rap music will be the future. Two of the most powerful people in hip-hop are now enjoying and liking Indie music, which leads me to expect the explosion of Indie-rap music will be one of 2011. Imagine Foofighters and Jay-z on the same track.
