Swiss hip hop - Definition and Overview

Swiss hip hop is not a genre of hip hop music, but a term covering all hip hop music from Switzerland.

As French, German and Italian rap, Swiss rap started in the early nineties. Early Swiss German rappers started rapping in English, but after the bilingual track "Murder by Dialect" by P27 featuring Black Tiger, rappers switched to their native Swiss German dialects. Rappers from the French-speaking part (where the traditional dialects died out in most parts) and from the Italian-speaking part (where most people mix dialects and Standard Italian freely) only rap in the standard languages.
