What sets Hip-Hop singing apart

Hip-hop is led by rap, which is rhythmic speech rather than sung pitch, so the profiles here are the artists who also sing hooks or blend singing with rapping. A rapped verse usually stays inside the speaking register, so it is the sung parts that stretch a range.

R&B is where most of these sung hooks come from, and where singing carries the whole song.
