Singapore hip-hop

Singapore hip hop is a collective of hip hop music, graffiti arts, deejaying/turntablism, break dancing and beatboxing, which are performed by hip hop enthusiasts who are of Singapore-born mainly from the four main ethnic categories or "races": the Chinese, Malays, Indians and Eurasians. This movement began in the mid-1980s, influenced significantly by Singapore's role as an international port that facilitated cultural exchanges, notably with the United States where hip hop originated.

Rap music is released in Singapore mainly in English and in different languages such as Chinese, Malay and Tamil. Malay language hip-hop made among the aforementioned Malay population is the most notable and famous subculture within Singaporean hip-hop whose fanbases extend beyond them– one act from this, Ahli Fiqir, is well-known even in neighbouring Malaysia and Indonesia.
