Musical collective

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from Hip Hop collective)

A musical collective is a type of artist collective for musicians in which membership is flexible and creative control is shared.[1] The concept is distinct from that of a traditional band in that musical collectives allow for flexibility in their rosters, and members are free to rotate in and out of the line-up. Collectives may exist in almost any genre of music, although they have been especially prominent in indie rock and hip hop.[1] They may differ from record labels in that they primarily serve as mutual support for member artists, although some collectives may also serve as a record label for members.[2]

Musical collectives typically consist of artists with similar stylistic interests. Notable musical collectives have included the Soulquarians, Elephant 6, and the Dungeon Family,[3] and Odd Future, among others.[4]
