hip hop track

Beats and rhymes

A hip hop track is a recorded piece of hip hop music, typically featuring rapping over beats, samples, and electronic production.

Track emphasizes the song as a discrete unit—something you'd find on an album, playlist, or streaming service: That producer dropped three new hip hop tracks last night.

The term is standard in the genre, where artists release tracks rather than simply songs.
