Country-rap

Country-rap is the fusion of country music with hip hop music. Perhaps to avoid the unfortunate abbreviation "c-rap," the style is known by several other names, such as "hick hop," "hill hop," "hip hopry," and "country-hip-hop". Cowboy Troy is the best-known country-rap artist, although the label is sometimes applied to country-influenced rap rock artists such as Kid Rock or Everlast.
