Hip-hop sets are where DJ requests tend to be the most specific and frequent — crowds often know exactly which track they want next.

Treat requests as a read on the crowd's energy between your own transitions rather than a strict setlist to follow.

Sub-styles to know

Old-School Hip-Hop

Foundational tracks from the genre's earlier decades, reliable crowd-pleasers across generations.

Trap

The dominant modern mainstream sound, high-energy and built for the dance floor.

Conscious / Lyrical Rap

More lyrically-focused, often used for a change of pace between higher-energy stretches.

Frequently asked questions

Do I have to play every request?
No — every request is a suggestion you approve or ignore, you stay in full control of the actual set.
Can guests suggest hip-hop from different eras?
Yes — there's no restriction on era or sub-genre; guests suggest whatever they want, and you (or the room, with voting) decide what plays.
What's the difference between trap and old-school hip-hop?
Old-school hip-hop refers to the genre's foundational decades; trap is the dominant modern mainstream sound, built around heavier 808-driven production.
