In hip-hop music boom bap is a style of record production. Boom bap is an onomatopoeia for the drum sounds prominent in boom bap. It is usually recognized by an acoustic drum loop/break and a chopped up sample style that became widely used in the early 90’s as opposed to the old school type synth beats. The term was popularized by the album Return of the Boom Bap by KRS-One.
