Hip-hop and house revolutionized music and culture. Here's what they have in common
Briefly

Once marginalized, hip-hop and house have recently gained prominence at the Grammys, showcasing their journey from underground movements to celebrated genres. Hip-hop, recognized since 1989 with a dedicated award category, and house, with its own category since 1998, reflect deep roots in Black American culture and artistic expression from cities. This year’s event highlights collaborations between artists like Justice, Kendrick Lamar, DJ Kaytranada, and Childish Gambino, demonstrating the continued interplay between these musical styles and their impact on mainstream music.
The roots of hip-hop and house music both lie in the seismic shifts of the late 1970s, a period of sociopolitical unrest and electronic experimentation that redefined the possibilities of sound.
At this year's awards, taking place on February 2, hip-hop and house artists will be among the most talked about, showcasing the genres’ evolution and integration.
