Hipco is Hip hop sung in colloquial, the form of English. Although colloquial English retains a lot of English syntax, it can be a bit daunting at first because it is spoken very fast, many consonants are not pronounced, and a lot of words are borrowed from other local languages. But it has become the language of choice for young rappers. And much like hip Hop, Hipco has grown into it own culture, with its own lifestyle, dance moves and music. Hipco combines traditional rap rhythms with samples of street noise and synthy background loops. Artists record themselves in homemade studios, and producers mix tracks on fifteen year-old software. Since 2000, The sound of Hipco has improved greatly with quality songs being released in and out of Liberia. Hipco, which grew from the crumbing ghettos and slum communities of Monrovia and its environs, has defied the odds to remain the popular music genre in Liberia, and serving as the medium through which rappers speak against societal ills, including injustice and corruption.www.worldhiphopmarket.com/hipco-the-living-art-liberia
