diss track
Rapper's lyrical attack
A diss track is a song, typically in hip-hop, created to insult or attack another artist.
The term combines diss (short for disrespect) with track (a recorded song).
Diss tracks often call out rivals by name, mock their skills or credibility, and air personal grievances: He dropped a diss track after the interview.
The format has a long history in rap battles and feuds.
