Alaskan hip-hop is a resurgent subgenre of hip-hop within the state of Alaska, primarily in the metropolitan areas of Anchorage and Fairbanks, and to a lesser extent Juneau. Despite its remote location, since the late 1970s, Alaska has had a steady growth in population, including its African American community; some observers describing the state as a melting pot of numerous cultures from across the continental United States.
