Swiss rap is a subgenre of rap music.

As French, German and Italian rap, Swiss rap started in the early nineties. Early Swiss German rappers started rapping in English, but after the bilingual track "Murder by Dialect" by P27 featuring Black Tiger, rappers switched to their native Swiss German dialects. Rappers from the French-speaking part (where dialects died out) and from the Italian-speaking part (where most people mix dialects and Standard Italian freely) only rap in the standard languages.
