Anarchy In The BK
Anarchy In The BK: The Rise of Balkan Hip-Hop And Its Impact On Culture.
Hip-hop in the Balkans has evolved from an underground movement of raw expression and resistance to a dominant cultural force shaping music, fashion, and identity. Once a voice for the unheard, addressing social and political realities, has the genre lost its rebellious roots in favour of commercial success?
Discussion Points:
- How has Balkan hip-hop evolved and gained influence?
- What role does hip-hop play in social activism?
- What are the challenges for emerging artists in the region?
- Has hip-hop shifted from activism to commercialism?
