One of the newest styles of music, rap music was created in the late 70s and 80s. "Rapper's Delight" by the Sugarhill Gang can still be recited from memory by many today. Surrounded by an entire culture and language of its own, rap is readily associated with graffiti, rhyming and the ghettos of New York City. However, since its birth, rap singers have transformed this once gangster-style music into something enjoyed by kids everywhere. Rap singers don't usually sing. In fact, they speak (rhyme) to the beat of an instrumental track played by a DJ. Rap music has spread more rapidly than most other types. Worldwide acceptance of this culture and music was reached within just a few short years of its appearance on mainstream charts. Rap singers can be found in the U.K., Ireland and even Bulgaria.
