Does rap have a key?

The concept of “key” in rap music differs slightly from that in traditional instrumental music. Rap focuses on rhythm, flow, and lyrical delivery, so elements based on melody or chord progressions, such as “key,” are not central. However, when rap is performed over a backing track or beat, that backing track often is composed in a specific key. Thus, while rap itself does not have a key, the musical background supporting the rap can have a key.
