A rap opera is a series of rap songs in the form of an opera, inspired by the concept of rock opera. Like its predecessor, rap opera tells a story through consecutive pieces involving the same character or characters. Rap opera may be a purely auditory experience, or it may be associated with a musical, comic book, or other art form. It appears to be a relatively young, spontaneous form, with more amateurs and non-profits than professionals.
