From its old school "Hip House" roots to the newer Electro House/Rap crossovers, there are plenty of proponents of the style.
But which artists are doing it? Here are the top 10 best DJs, MCs, groups and collabs, ranging from the old school to the new, which have released house music with that rap flavour!
Hip House Hit: Day n' Night
Collaborating with Italian producer duo Crookers, Kid Cudi's "Day n' Night" got to number 2 in the UK, introducing the rapper to the world through a catchy electro house tune.
Hip House Hit: I Know You Want Me
"I know you want me... You know I wancha..." A painfully catchy hook adorns one of the biggest hits of 2009. Pitbull has a tendency for 4-on-the-floor beats and catchy synthlines in his choruses. Meeting Lil' Jon was certainly a stroke of luck, as his house productions have proved as successful as his Crunk ones!
Hip House Hit: Let the Rhythm Pump
The late 80s and early 90s were the height of the original Hip House movement, with Doug Lazy being one of the first proponents of the genre. The track "let the rhythm pump" is unforgivingly catchy and he has that cheeky old school hip hop style to his lyrics.
Hip House Hit: Sexy Chick
Collaborating with Akon on the song "Sexy Chick" (or "Sexy Bitch" if your parents allowed you to buy the album) shot David Guetta into the limelight as one of the biggest Electro House artists about.
Hip House Hit: Universal Mind Control
Collaborating with Armand Van Helden on the track "Full Moon" and more recently with legendary producer Pharrell on "Universal Mind Control", Common doesn't shy away from poppier tracks!
Hip House Hit: Yo Yo Get Funky
Quite possibly the first popular Hip House producer, with the song "Hip House" being a potential clue. Several of his tracks became hits on the hot dance music chart in the late 80s and early 90s.
Hip House Hit: I Gotta feeling
Always a group to push the boundaries of hip hop, the black eyed peas first ventured into more electronic genres with the track Boom Boom Pow, then continued on to the predictably Feel-Good Hip House track "I Gotta Feeling".
Hip House Hit: Pump Up the Jam
Sometimes the biggest hits come from unexpected places. The Belgian producer Jo Bogaert got together with Ya Kid K to create the #2 single "Pump Up the Jam" which gave early Hip House a name in the charts.
Hip House Hit: Dance Wiv Me
What a collaboration! Two of the biggest artists in the UK scene hailing from their respective backgrounds of electro house and grime rap coming together to make a massive number one hit. Dance wiv me isn't their only collab either, with the single "holiday" taking the clubs by storm the year after.
And it's not the only hit song Dizzee has had with a house producer - Armand Van Helden collaborated with him on the massive Number 1 hit "Bonkers", cementing Dizzee as one of the biggest rappers to rhyme over dance music!
Hip House Hit: The Power
Sometimes the oldies are still the goodies! I dare anyone to say they haven't danced to this track. Crossing over more than just genres, this German/American group featuring rapper "Turbo B" spitting his vocals over producers Michael Munzing and Luca Anzilotti's house beats!
