How did rap transform from a subculture into a global phenomenon? In a conversation with our guests Heidi Süß, DJ Ron, LIZ, and Marina Buzunashvilli, we’ll dive into the key trends shaping both society and the rap scene: commercialization, shifts in gender roles, and generational changes. During the discussion we’ll showcase highlights from the MDR Splash! documentary, which explores the scene’s evolution.
The full Splash! documentary is available on ARD Mediathek.
