The Phonk is a style of music in the realm of hip-hop where instrumentals are derived from funky sounds, but slowed down to create an eery backdrop for lyrics that push boundaries on the darkest parts of our society and human nature.

SpaceGhostPurrp often attributes his dark “phonk” sound to the sometimes dangerous and violent environment he grew up around in Carol City which he refers to as “Blackland”, linking it with his references to “hell”, and the 666 symbology in his critically acclaimed mixtape Blackland Radio 66.6.
