 | | A direct cousin of Miami booty bass, ghettotech reached a summit of publicity around the turn of this century, when fellows like D, Assault, and Godfather were blowing up with their blend of naaaasty lyrics, bass-thumping Chicago booty house, and the frizzy synth squelches of Detroit electro. |
 | | Today, naysayers brand ghettotech as a dead genre--though artists like Disco D are taking ghettotech beats to new heights, while others like Gold Chains are biting the style and turning it into something else entirely. |
 | | Ghettotech and underground booty bass is especially appealing to the ladies, because we have a strong vocal presence--probably even more than in mainstream rap. |
