Thought to have originated in the late 1960's and early 1970's, although most people have their own ideas about how it came into being and who the first hip-hop artist was.
The general consensus is that a Jamaican, DJ Kool Herc (Clive Campbell) is the father of this type of music, when he started fusing different instruments with rhymes and lyrics.
Since then, it has originated into a global phenomenon.
The energy and creativity forms a universal language that transcends race, religion and culture.
It is a culture that everyone can relate to, with the lyrics in the songs generally being about everyday life, and the problems faced in society by the modern day man or woman.
