It is a very easy genre to identify, it is usually a hip hop song that features elements of singing and modern pop music. Due to the success of many pop rap artists such as Drake, Future, and Travis Scott: it is a growing genre that is gaining massive popularity. Almost every mainstream hip hop artist now from time to time sings on the hook of songs.
