Mumble rap often used to describe " emo rap " and " SoundCloud rap " [6] is a loosely defined [4] microgenre [7] of hip hop that largely spread on the online audio distribution platform SoundCloud in the s. Some have criticized the term as inaccurate or as a pejorative used to degrade younger rappers, [10] [11] although some artists have reclaimed the term. The term "mumble rap" was first used in by VladTV battle rap journalist Michael Hughes, in an interview with battle rapper Loaded Lux about the style's emergence in mainstream hip hop. Some have claimed that artists such as Das EFX and Fu-Schnickens rapped in a similar style years before the term was created.

In the high-ceilinged, brick-walled main room, around fans were bouncing off one another, waiting for the show to begin. They were young — the bar was effectively closed, and a woman was selling cans of Sunkist and Minute Maid Lemonade from an ice-filled tub. Eventually Lil Pump roused himself and sneaked out the back door. When he finally made it to the stage — joining Smokepurpp, who had been scheduled to go on after him — he was received full-throatedly, rowdily, sweatily. Soon, the front of the room was a royal rumble, sending combatants from the stage to the floor, and some on the floor running for the doors.
