History
The mixing of country and hip-hop genres has been done in such different ways over the last two decades that no coherent genre of its own has emerged to associate many groups with. Each time it has been tried, the results have been very different, with different artists taking different elements from hip-hop and country with which to blend the two. The resulting sounds are so different that many of these artists have practically nothing in common. "Country Rock and Rap", a 1982 single by the Disco Four, is the first recognized blend of the two genres. Later acts have associated a fusion of country and hip-hop with various sounds and terms.
Country Rap
