Freestyle

Freestyle is a genre of electronic dance music that originated in the early 1980s in the Bronx, New York. It is a fusion of Latin, electro, and hip hop music that is characterized by rapid-fire vocal delivery, heavy use of synthesizers and drum machines, and a strong dance beat. Its roots can be traced back to the early hip hop scene, where DJs and MCs would rap over instrumental versions of popular songs. The genre gained popularity in the mid-1980s, when Latin-influenced freestyle records began to appear on the radio. Since then, it has become a staple in dance music and continues to evolve and expand with the times.
