Portuguese hip hop (Hip hop português) more usually known as Hip Hop Tuga is the Portuguese variety of hip hop music.
Hip Hop Tuga is different from mainstream hip hop because it has strong influences from African music from Lusophone Africa, Reggae, and Portuguese Fado. It is often performed by African-Portuguese artists, descendants from African immigrants that came to Portugal after the independence of its former African colonies. Many Portuguese Hip Hop artits have also mixed Hip Hop with Portuguese Fado, creating a truly unique music style. Artists such as Sam the Kid, Macacos do Chinês, Black Company, Boss Ac, and Lancelot have all created songs blending the two styles. There is also a famous rap group that goes by the name of ORTEUM (O Rap Tuga É Uma Merda), that means 'Portuguese Rap Sucks', which is kind of true.
