Latin rap was jumpstarted by a wave of rappers that received considerable radio time during the late 1980s. Similarly, the movement has spread to Puerto Rico, a country where many of its residents have moved to New York, Miami and Chicago over the years. For example, Mexico has a growing hip hop scene with groups such as Control Machete, Cartel De Santa, and Molotov. The latter form of music has been a hit especially in countries with a large number of migrators to the United States. In the music realm, this can be heard with many different genres, like reggae, (which later led to dancehall), rap/hip-hop, reggaeton, and Latin rap.
The constant migration of people from one country to another has greatly influenced the dispersion of cultures and music across the globe. In recent years the term "Urban Regional" was coined to refer to Spanish rap performed over beats infused with the sounds and melodies from popular Mexican music styles such as Banda, Cumbia, Norteno and others. Latin rap (as well as its subgenre of Chicano rap) has thrived along the West Coast, Southwest and Midwestern states with little promotion due to the large Latino populations of those regions.
