A cappella

A capella is a type of music that is entirely created by the use of the human voice without any additional instruments. Pure beatboxing can generally be considered to be a cappela music.

The first full a cappella song that only consists of beatboxing and rapping was recorded by The Fat Boys and published on their first full album Fat Boys in 1984. The track has the corresponding title "Human Beat Box". The following two albums of The Fat Boys also contained a similar a cappella track, The Fat Boys Are Back with "Human Beat Box Part II" and Big & Beautiful with "Beat Box Part III".
