Lost in Music – Rap & Söhne is a German TV documentary by Uwe Klinkmann and Markus Schneider. The film has a duration of almost 60 minutes and was first aired in 1998 (ZDF) and again on 29 May, 1999 (3Sat). The film is part of a series of German music documentaries, which were all produced in the 1990s having the term "Lost in Music" in their titles.

This documentary accompanies the hip hop scene in Germany in the summer of 1998 showing the protagonists in their studios, concerts, offices, flats or in exclusively created music sequences. Footage was taken in offices of music labels like YO MAMA (Hamburg), MZEE (Cologne) FOUR MUSIC (Stuttgart) and clubs KÖLLIFORNIA (Cologne) and 0711 (Stuttgart) and from the project KOLCHOSE (Stuttgart).

It is a journey to the three biggest centres of German hip hop, i.e. Hamburg, Cologne and Stuttgart. The video documents the quality of a Germany-wide collaboration, both economically and artistically, as well as the regionally different perceptions of German-language rap music.
