Chap hop is a fusion genre of music originating from England that mixes thehip-hop genre with elements from theChappist orsteampunk subcultures and stereotypical English obsessions such as cricket, tea, and the weather.[1]
Two leading exponents of the genre areProfessor Elemental andMr.B The Gentleman Rhymer, who belong to the steampunk and Chappist factions of chap hop respectively.[2][3] Other notable artists are Poplock Holmes & DJ WattsOn, and Sir Reginald Pikedevant, Esquire.[4]
In March 2013, UK Education SecretaryMichael Gove said he was a fan of the genre. Mr. B noted the irony of this, since his music often pokes at members of the establishment, commenting: "As a non-Etonian and thus an outcast within the cabinet, this is perhaps a little snook cocked at his colleagues."[5]
