Hip-Hop has been around in Mauritius since it has been on International media. Each generation has their own preference in terms of Rap Artists, but all artists who have been playing on the medias since TuPac have also been aired in Mauritius. Rap artists such as Dr Dre, Snoop Dogg, Eminem, 50 Cents are extremely popular among Hip-Hop fans in Mauritius in the 1990s. Hip-Hop culture has been widely spread and its sub cultures such as its Mc'ing, BBoying, Graffiti, and DJing are widely practised. The general local Rap scene is quite active but due to the high musical piracy issue, Rap albums have become rare on the national music market. Some popular active Rappers are Panther Noire, Marki Evolution. Tikkenzo from OSB Crew and Aeiki Latchoum from North Side Zoo are the most popular Rappers, but who have stopped releasing records for a decade now. Among the most known dance groups, there is Flava Kid'z, Street Elite Crew, La Squad and Da Movement. Some old dance groups who also was quite popular are Alliance Supreme ( no more active ), Cyber Step Breakerz and HipHop Dancers. Eventually, with the access to YouTube, computer music and music stores by 2000, many fans started into their own Hip Hop adventure on Mauritius Island. Nowadays there are numerous Home Studios around the Island and good beat makers and producers. (en) |
