Story

Story is a musical style that emerged in the early 2000s as an alternative to mainstream hip hop. The style is characterized by its use of a wide range of samples, both from classic and modern songs, as well as its incorporation of a range of styles, including jazz, funk, soul, and rock. Storytelling is also a key component of the style, with its lyrics often exploring personal experiences and narratives. The style has been popularized by artists such as Common, Talib Kweli, and The Roots.
