A Genre Lost: Mafioso Rap
“Trap Music \/drill Replaced What Mafioso Rap Would” - Tone Blunt
The Genre lost
The mafioso Rap Sound leaders
I wanted to Shed Light on a sound that I felt was a Lost sub genre Art Of Rap. Now that Hiphop/Rap is The most popular sound With a lot of Sub Genres coming in the last 10 years. Mafioso Rap had some of the most influential & unique Rhyme schemes Which I felt died with the Late biggie Smalls
The First actual Project Forming out of the Mafioso Sound would Be Dj Polo & Kool G Raps roads to Riches Album
