Hip house, also known as rap house or house rap, is a musical genre that mixes elements of house music and hip hop. It arose during the 1980s in Chicago and London. Though hip house never achieved massive popularity, there were a few hits (such as by Technotronic, a Belgian group) in the later part of the decade and the early 1990s.
