Tag: Mumble Rap

Mumble Rap popped up in the mid-2010s, all about that chill, often slurred way of rapping that focuses on melody and flow rather than clear enunciation and intricate wordplay. The beats are usually trap-inspired with heavy bass, high-hat rolls, and atmospheric synths. Since the lyrics usually revolve around themes like partying, drug use, and wealth, it resonates to a lot of listeners that choose flow over lyrics. Big names in this scene include Future, Young Thug, and Lil Uzi Vert. While it gets some flak for not being super lyrical, Mumble Rap has made a big mark on hip-hop with its unique vibe and sound.
