Chicano Rap - '90s

'90s

In the mid-90s, Eazy-E formed the group Brownside as a Chicano version of the rap group N.W.A.. During the 1990s, some Chicano rappers Sinful of the Mexicanz began using influences from Mexican music in their beats and delivery, although this subgenre of music is sometimes referred to today as "Urban Regional" and not always representative of Chicano Rap. The hip hop group Akwid also combines traditional Mexican regional music with hip hop vocals.
