Music Style and Slang
Hi-risers are an integral part of Indianapolis, St. Louis, Louisville, the East Coast, Central and South Florida music scene. Donk riders and rappers from this area in particular also share unique styles of slang and clothing. In South Florida, drivers of cars that would otherwise be considered classic and have had their stock tires replaced with 24s, are referred to as donk riders. (The expression is thought to have originated with rapper Trick Daddy, who hails from the Miami neighborhood of Liberty City.) One prominent donk rider style in the South Florida area pairs dreadheads with gold teeth or a gold grill, and over the years has spread throughout Florida.
