Thump Freestyle Explosion
THUMP Records knows Freestyle or Latin Freestyle, also called Latin Hip Hop.
This form of electronic music emerged in the early 80s and declined around the early 1990s. The music first developed primarily in the Latino communities of New York City and then Miami in the early 1980s. Initially, it was a fusion of the vocal styles found in 70s disco music with the syncopated, synthetic instrumentation of 80s electro, as favored by fans of break-dancing. Specifically, Freestyle's true roots are traced back to Soul Sonic Force's "Planet Rock" (1982) and Shannon's "Let the Music Play", which debuted in 1983.
Information Society, Exposé, Lisa Lisa and Cult Jam, Shannon, La India, TKA, Corina, Nocera, Company B, The Cover Girls, Stevie B, Korell, Noel, Sa-Fire, Johnny O, Pajama Party, Shana, Will to Power, Sweet Sensation, Seduction, Judy Torres, Linear, George Lamond, Lil' Suzy, Lisette Melendez, Coro, and Collage are some notable performers of the genre.
Freestyle continues its popularity, especially in the urban Hispanic-American communities, as it did when it first came on to the scene. Freestyle has also influenced Reggaeton with a few singles being released with Freestyle beats, as well as, remakes of old Freestyle songs; Pitbull and Stevie B releasing a remake of the hit "Spring Love".
