Alaskan hip hop is a resurgent subgenre of Hip hop within the state of Alaska, primarily in the metropolitan areas of Anchorage and Fairbanks, and to a lesser extent Juneau. Despite its remote location, since the late 1970s, Alaska has had a steady growth in population, including its African American community, with some observers describing it as a melting pot of numerous cultures from across the continental United States.
