Beatboxing today is connected with hip-hop culture being one of "the elements", although it is not limited to Hip Hop music.The term "beatboxing" is sometimes used to refer to vocal percussion in general

The term "beatboxing" is derived from the mimicry of the first generation of drum machines, then known as beatboxes. "Human beatboxing" in hip-hop originated in 1980s. Its early pioneers include Doug E Fresh the self-proclaimed first "human beatbox".Swifty, the first to implement the inhale sound technique,Buffy, who helped perfect many beatboxing techniques and Wise who contributed significantly to beat boxing' proliferation.

Wise inspired an entire new fan base of human beatboxers with his human turntable technique.

MODERN BEATBOXING 

Beatboxing's current popularity is due in part to artists such as Rahzel of THE ROOTS and Kenny Muhammad who have promoted the art form across the globe.
Sometimes, artists will use their hand or another part of their body to extend the spectrum of sound effects and rhythm. Some have developed a technique that involves using their hands to produce very realistic scratching effects, which they use in beatboxing. Another artist from Belgium cupped his hands to make bird and ocean sound effects in his beatboxing, and so forth.
