The term hyphy (/ˈhaɪfiː/ HY-fee) is Oakland slang meaning  “hyperactive.”  More specifically it is an adjective describing the  music and the culture associated with that area. The term was first  coined by Oakland rapper Keak da Sneak. In the early to mid-2010s, the genre of hyphy music saw a resurgence in  the mainstream as a part of being a stylistic influence to an up-tempo  and club-oriented type of mainstream hip hop known as “ratchet music,  which was popularized by various Los Angeles producers, including DJ  Mustard. The production style of DJ Mustard is adapted from hyphy music  and played a role in bringing West Coast hip hop back to national  attention.  Some of the greatest hip-hop artists originated from  Oakland, California including Tupac, E-40, Too $hort, Mac Dre, G-Eazy,  Rappin’ 4-Tay, Digital Underground, & more.
