Cinematic attempts, concerts, and festivals have also taken place in an effort to broaden the scope of the movement, and introduce new bands to the genre's range of followers.
Low bap has its beginnings in Perama, an industrial suburb of Piraeus in Athens Urban Area.
In June 1992, during a live performance of Public Enemy in Nikaia, B. D. Foxmoor and MCD met each other and created one of the first Greek hip hop groups, Active Member.
A few months later, the third album of Active Member was produced, under the name To Megalo Kolpo (The Great Wangle), and became widely known.
On that album, Active Member decided to rename hip hop as they had taken it in, thus naming it "low bap."
