I got quite into foreign rap for a while. I love the sound but have grown up enough to see what pricks actual rappers are. They're either full criminal scum who need to be locked away, or they're man-children desperately trying to act hard.
Foreign rappers though? They could be singing about nipping off to the shops to buy a pint of milk for their nan, I have no idea.
If you want prickless rap, get into Nerdcore.
They are just a bunch of nerds rapping about nerd culture.
The thing is that about 80% of the songs are cringe as fuck, they are nerds after all, but the other 20% are amazing bangers.
You didn't ask for it but I'll give you 3 recs from Belgium. The first is Yong Yello and probably made me realize that cohesive concept albums are a thing. Themes are alcoholism, cheating but not in a cool way, relationships and workaholism. He started out as a producer and you'll hear that in his melodic music.
Brihang, on the other hand, raps in West Flemish, a Belgian dialect, and has a more poetic style.
And if you want a hiphop artist to bop your head to you should probably look into Zwangere Guy. He is from Brussels and raps mostly in Dutch but combines it with French.
