Top 5 Rappers from Around the globe

 

Hey everybody, how you doin? You know what happened last night? I asked my friend who her favorite rapper was and she said, Eminem. I asked if she knew any rappers who don’t rap in English and guess what she didn’t know anyone and so did I. even though I am Indian I did not know any Indian rappers and I realized that many people do not know many rappers who are not English. So I did some research and I've gathered 10 rappers from 10 countries who are prominent in the rap industry.

1. United States

Now this is a rapper who everybody knows since her song blew up on the internet, it's Cardi B.

Cardi B is an American rapper, songwriter, and actress. From 2015 to 2017, she appeared as a regular cast member on the VH1 reality television series Love & Hip Hop: New York, which depicted the pursuit of her music aspirations. Her debut studio album, Invasion of Privacy (2018), debuted at number one on the Billboard 200, broke several streaming records, and was named by Billboard the top female rap album of the 2010s. Critically acclaimed, it won the Grammy Award for Best Rap Album, making Cardi B the only woman to win the award as a solo artist, as well as the first female rap artist in 15 years to be nominated for Album of the Year. It spawned two number-one singles on the Billboard Hot 100; "Bodak Yellow", which made her the second female rapper to top the chart with a solo output—following Lauryn Hill in 1998—and "I Like It", which made her the first female rapper to attain multiple number-one songs on the chart. Her Maroon 5 collaboration "Girls Like You" made her the only female rapper to top the Hot 100 three times. "WAP", the lead single of her second album, expanded her record as the female rapper with the most Hot 100 number-one singles as her fourth leader and made her the only female rap artist to achieve chart-topping singles in two decades (the 2010s and 2020s).
