Abstract
Since its origins half a century ago, rap has emerged as an effective means of channeling the anger of its protagonists in the face of personal, social, and political adversity. The rise of feminism, along with other social movements and upheavals in recent decades, has positioned this discursive and musical genre at the forefront of the ever-complex battle for the conquest of rights. This article delves into the intricate relationship between anger and rap within the context of Andalusian social rap. Focusing on the creative works of key figures, including Gata Cattana and the Ayax and Prok brothers, it analyzes the underlying factors behind anger, its creative expression, and its impact on the emerging millennial generation. These artists navigate through the fractures of late capitalism and the intricate socio-political landscapes, both national and international, shaped by the aftermath of the Great Recession.
