First, What is Hip-Hop Lo fi?

Lo-fi hip hop or Chillhop is a form of downtempo that combines elements of hip hop and chill-out music. It was popularized in the 2010s on YouTube and became an internet meme.

In 2013, YouTube began allowing live streams, resulting in the creation of 24-hour “radio stations” dedicated to microgenres such as Vaporwave, an offshoot of chillwave. Spotify contributed to the growth of lo-fi by creating playlists, such as “Chill Hits” and “Bedroom Pop,” and promoting “chill pop” artists.

In 2017, a form of downtempo music, labeled “chillhop” or “lo-fi hip hop,” became popular among YouTube music streamers. By 2018, several of these channels had millions of followers. One DJ, Ryan Celsius, proposed that they were inspired by a nostalgia for the commercials used by Toonami and Adult Swim in the 2000s, and that this “created a crossover between people who enjoyed both anime and hip hop music.
