Freestyle music or Latin freestyle is a form of electronic dance music that emerged in the New York metropolitan area in the 1980s. It experienced its greatest popularity from the late 1980s until the early 1990s. A common theme of freestyle lyricism originated as heartbreak in an urban environment typified by New York City. The first freestyle hit is often said to have been “Let the Music Play” by Shannon, released in 1983. Freestyle music is a Latin American-based rhythm with a heavy syncopated drum sound. This style of electro funk was defined as “freestyle” because of the way it was produced and mixed. Chris Barbosa is widely credited as the genre’s founder.

Freestyle music continues to be created and played on radio stations that are still of interest to the Latin and Italian communities.

Freestyle features a dance tempo with stress on beats two and four; syncopation with a bassline, and a louder bass drum, lead synth, or percussion, and optional stabs of synthesized brass or orchestral samples; sixteenth-note hi-hats; a chord progression that lasts eight, 16, or 32 beats and is usually in a minor key; relatively complex, upbeat melodies with singing, verses, and a chorus; and themes about a city, broken heart, love, or dancing. Freestyle music in general is heavily influenced by electronic instrumentation upon an upbeat dance tempo.
