1991T is an Armenian rap group from Yerevan, formed in 1998. The group's original members were Viktor Ambartsumian, Ara Mkrtchyan, and Vahagn Mkritchyan, with Ambartsumian being the primary rapper and frontman.

The group's name, 1991T, refers to the year 1991 and the Teghut copper factories, a symbol of post-Soviet Armenia. Their music style combines elements of Armenian folk, hip hop, and rock, with socially conscious lyrics that deal with themes of Armenian identity, nationalism, and social inequality.

1991T released their debut album, "1991TC", in 2002. The album received significant attention in Armenia and helped establish the group as a major force in the country's music scene. Their music often incorporates elements of traditional Armenian music, as well as samples and influences from international hip hop and rock.

The group's music has been praised for its energetic and socially engaged sound, as well as its commitment to promoting Armenian culture and language. However, they have also been criticized for their perceived nationalism and exclusivity, with some critics viewing their music as too tied to Armenian identity and nationalist ideology. 1991T's music has been popular in both Armenia and the Armenian diaspora, and the group has performed extensively in both countries, as well as in international festivals and concerts. The group's music has also been widely distributed and streamed, with many of their songs available online.
