The Evolution of Hip Hop Singles in 1996, When Rap was Regional | Bomani Jones’ 1996 Hip Hop Series

In this episode of The Right Time, Bomani Jones and DJ Wally Sparks break down why 1996 was one of the greatest singles years in hip-hop history. From UGK, Twista, and DJ Screw to Camp Lo, Bone Thugs, and Busta Rhymes, they explore how regional rap scenes, Rap City, and the role of DJs shaped an era before streaming changed everything. It’s a deep dive into the songs, the culture, and the moment when hip-hop still belonged to the cities that made it.
