deejaying, and MC'ing where deejays would

but a way to work/entertain the crowd in a

integrated into pop and rock music as it was
viewed as "fun and easy". Introduction of rap
through these genres would facilitate growth of
rap.

drum machines sincGolden Age of Hip Hop

focused primarily on rappers and hip hop
artists to develop such as Tommy Boy, Prism
Records, and Def Jam.Korea's first contact with Hip-Hop likely came
