hiphy

Hyphy (short for "hyperactive") is a subgenre of crunk music originating from the Bay Area of California. The word was created by Bay Area rapper Keak Da Sneak when he used the term on an album he recorded in 1994.Hip-hop artist E-40, with his 2006 single titled "Tell Me When to Go" put the Bay Area hip-hop culture on the national map. The movement started in the '90s and gained momentum in the early 2000s as a response from Bay Area rappers to commercial hip-hop's ignoring of the Bay's influence. Although the hyphy movement has just recently seen light in mainstream America, it has been a long standing and evolving culture in the Bay Area.
