    Crossover music, simply put, is a term that describes musical works or performers who appeal to a wider range of audiences by using different styles or genres. When I think of crossover music, the first thing that comes to mind is the partnership of country music stars and hip-hop artists or classic musicians.

We’ve seen the intermingling of the two professions from the early 90s when Shaquille O’Neal started rapping (Joseph, Revisiting Shaquille).

MTV changed everything when it first aired; Napster did the same two decades later; Apple continued the trend with the introduction of the iPod and iTunes.
