Nep-hop is the Nepalese form of hip-hop. Its major elements include alternative hip hop, avant-garde hip hop, breakbeat, freestyling and DJing. Rap culture was introduced in Nepal through electronic DJs mixing the classical Nepalese songs with the Western urban style in the early eighties. Later, it took the form of artists releasing songs with commercial beats in the 1990s.[1]
