British hip hop, also known as UK hip hop or UK rap, is a genre of music, and a culture that covers a variety of styles of hip hop music made in the United Kingdom. It is generally classified as one of a number of styles of R&B/Hip-Hop. British hip hop can also be referred to as Brit-hop, a term coined and popularised mainly by ''British Vogue'' magazine and the BBC.

In 2003, ''The Times'' described British hip hop's broad-ranging approach: ..."UK rap" is a broad sonic church, encompassing anything made in Br ...
