Articles with Music Types
Are all kinds of music feminine? Is the article modifying the word música or the words rap, rock, clásica..etc. e.g: La música clásica?

The word música is always femenine. The musician/el músico is masculine. To name a musical style is not always necessary says La música rock, La música pop, la música soul, etc...
Is more common to say just the music type, eg: El rock, El Son cubano, el Pop, el reggae, el jazz, el ska, el folk, el soul, el heavy, el rap, el hip-hop, el mambo, el reggaeton, el tango, la Samba, la rumba, la salsa, la zarzuela, la opera, las rancheras, etc.
If you are using the word música then any adjective modifying it would be in the feminine form, the pronoun "it" refering to música would be la, and of course the article would be la. In the plural form músicas, the corresponding feminine plural forms are used.
I don't know about "rap" or "rock" or other modern forms, but if the base word in música then it will always be feminine. You might try posting some examples if you still have some uncertainty about usage.
