Rap artists such as Dr Dre, Snoop Dogg, Eminem, 50 Cents are extremely popular among Hip-Hop fans in Mauritius in the 1990s. Hip-Hop culture has been widely spread and its sub cultures such as its Mc'ing, BBoying, Graffiti, and DJing are widely practised. The general local Rap scene is quite active but due to the high musical piracy issue, Rap albums have become rare on the national music market. Some popular active Rappers are Panther Noire, Marki Evolution. Tikkenzo from OSB Crew and Aeiki Latchoum from North Side Zoo are the most popular Rappers, but who have stopped releasing records for a decade now.
