hip hop crew

Urban music group

A hip hop crew is a group of artists who collaborate and perform together, typically including rappers, DJs, dancers, or graffiti artists.

Crews formed the social backbone of early hip hop culture, with members sharing creative identity and often geographic roots: Run-DMC started as a crew in Hollis, Queens.

The term emphasizes collective identity over individual stardom.
