Rapxchange

More than just a record label RapXchange is a platform for a movement that started in the late 70’s in the state of New York USA. Since then it has spread worldwide cultivating a sound that now dominates the pop charts. In its original form back then when DJ’s would cut break beats whilst MC’s rapped it was all about good times and was relatively simple. From the mid 80’s onwards Rap developed into hip hop lyricism. With the arrival of the MPC amongst other drum machine samplers in the late 80’s the sound became established and never looked back. Now we live in an era where this music has become an essential part of big city culture spawning many beat makers alongside lyricists who nurture a scene where true lyricism and heavy beats still form the foundation of this art form we call Rap. RapXchange is here to give these artists a global stage to showcase their talents by collaborating within a continuously expanding network whilst staging events in all the cities these artists originate from. Rapxchange is both for the artist and the fan, a place where artists can find each other to form collaborations which result in great new music. For the fan it is a place to listen to and be in the know of the what, why, where and when of the latest and greatest forms of this music we love.
