Britcore

Britcore Hip Hop is a fast-paced, high-energy subgenre of British rap that emerged in the late 1980s UK, combining breakbeat hardcore rhythms with rapid-fire flows and gritty urban storytelling. Rooted in East London’s rave and underground scene, Britcore artists deliver hard-hitting lyrics, breakneck tempos, and innovative production that bridged American hip hop and UK rave culture. A vital pillar of the UK music scene, Britcore continues to influence modern grime, breakbeat and underground rap with its raw intensity and pioneering sound.
