Krumping is an urban street dance form that began in South Central Los Angeles. It is characterized by free, expressive, and highly energetic moves involving the arms and chest, and has become a major part of hip hop dance culture alongside other forms, such as breaking, popping, locking and freestyling. Krump is a relatively new dance-form. Like other styles of dance, Krump is seen by many as a faith-based art-form. Accordingly, many of its pioneers spell Krump as an acronym (K.R.U.M.P.), which stands for Kingdom Radically Uplifted Mighty Praise.Like all forms of street dance, hip hop music is the predominant type used for krump. Although many credit the originator of BUCK music to a group called THA J SQUAD, who continue to Produce "tracks" that have influenced how Krump has turned out to be. The orginator of Krump, Tight Eyez, also produced a few albums that promotes the spirituality of the dance. The style of hip hop is an essential factor in krump dancing, music sets the tone, tempo and mood of the dance "battle." The music is usually upbeat and aggressively lyricized, although music is often modified to remove lyrics creating "instrumentals."
