Jazzy Hip-Hop

Jazzy Hip-Hop is a genre of hip-hop music that blends jazz and hip-hop. It is believed to have originated in the late 1980s and early 1990s, when jazz musicians such as Roy Ayers and Herbie Hancock began to collaborate with hip-hop producers and rappers. Jazz samples were used in hip-hop records, and jazz-influenced hip-hop artists such as A Tribe Called Quest, Gang Starr, and De La Soul began to make waves in the hip-hop world. The genre has continued to evolve over the years, incorporating elements of other genres such as funk and soul, as well as utilizing modern production techniques and technology.
