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.

Hip hop in Singapore is multilingual, with artists performing mainly in English as well as in Chinese, Malay and Tamil. Malay-language hip hop is particularly prominent and has developed a subculture with a fan base extending across Southeast Asia. One notable example is the group Ahli Fiqir, which also achieved popularity in Malaysia and Indonesia.
