Hip hop never stops – in 2025 it will be full of new faces, fresh sounds and unexpected twists. One of the biggest trends lately is that the genre is increasingly mixing with other styles, and more and more international artists are breaking into the market. It’s no coincidence that we revived Ötkert’s Hip Hip Bistro, which has been rocking unstoppably every weekend since then.

Let’s look at the United Kingdom, for example: Little Simz, who has already made a big splash, has now become the youngest curator of the Meltdown festival – that’s something! And in the USA, a new talent, OsamaSon, has exploded, whose bass-laden music is already on the Billboard charts.

Technology is also playing an increasingly important role in the game. AI-powered music and algorithm-driven trends are completely transforming what we listen to and how music is made. Who knows, maybe in a few years there will be AI rappers on the charts?

And of course, female artists are also taking the rap genre further. Doechii and GloRilla, for example, are unstoppable and it seems like they will still be releasing banger tracks in 2025.

So when it comes to hip-hop, everything is changing and evolving now – and if you want to experience these fresh sounds live, Ötkert Bistro is the best place in Budapest! Get ready for an evening where new and classic rap hits mix and the bass beats are pounding in your heart.
