Lovely love song

A love song in Western rap

Hip-hop, the most popular genre in contemporary music.

It’s a genre that has been gaining popularity in Japan as well, but there aren’t many rappers who perform love songs.

Strictly speaking, there are rappers who do love songs, but underground rappers tend not to.

Overseas, even rappers active in the underground usually release at least one love song.

Because of that, there’s quite a range when it comes to love songs in hip-hop.

This time, we’ve picked out some hip-hop love songs from Western music.
