     Dungeon rap is a new hybrid style of hip-hop created by Yatsun. It merges Memphis rap – a style of lo-fi atmospheric southern hip-hop made popular by the likes of Three Six Mafia in the late 80s and early 90s – and dungeon synth, a sub-genre that blossomed in 1990s Scandinavia blending dark ambient and black metal.
