What is the history of hip-hop in China?

The development of hip-hop music in China can be traced back to the 1980s, when hip-hop music was mainly introduced by black music lovers. 1993, Yin He released a rap album called "So-and-So", which did not cause any storm at that time, but in this wave, people in China began to hear about rap music. At that time, the concept of rap in Chinese mainland was not a complete musical style, but an element, with which it would become super cool.

With the passage of time, hip-hop music has gradually developed in China. Around 2000, with the development of network technology, hip-hop music began to become popular on the Internet. In 2004, China's first hip-hop album Black Friday was released, marking a new era of Chinese hip-hop music.
