Boom Bap

Boom bap is a style of production in hip-hop music. The term "boom bap" is an onomatopoeia
for the drum sounds prominent in boom bap. It is usually recognized by an acoustic drum
loop/break that is then chopped up and played using a sampler such as the Akai MPC or the
SP1200. The term was popularized by the album Return of the Boom Bap by KRS-One. Boom bap
production was associated with producers from New York City in the late 1980s and early
1990s, such as DJ Premier, Pete Rock, KRS-One, Q-tip, Ali Shaheed Muhammad, EPMD, RZA,
Marley Marl, Large Professor. The production style was also employed by producers outside
of New York City, such as J Dilla in Detroit and People Under The Stairs in Los Angeles.
