Phonk

Subgenre of hip-hop that originated in the Southern United States, particularly in Memphis, Tennessee, during the 1990s. It is characterized by its use of lo-fi production, heavy bass, and samples from old Memphis rap tapes, often incorporating elements of funk, jazz, and soul to create a dark, gritty, and atmospheric sound. Phonk primarily appeals to fans of underground hip-hop and those interested in nostalgic, lo-fi music aesthetics.
