Being someone with a UK accent, the more people in the US are exposed to UK rappers the more they become palatable, take Central Cee for example, another thing I like to do is watch reaction channels on Youtube to get a general feel for what Americans think, and over time they have come to accept the UK sound more and more. Also there are a lot of people from the Caribbean both in the UK and the US so in terms of slang the barrier of crumbling faster and faster.

@Jean Paul yeah we've also got Afroswing in the UK which works with either a UK accent (not so much Ed sheeran's (respectfully), more-so the mandem) and afro accents, its a fusion of dancehall, afrobeats, hiphop etc...

Life (when it's the right type of music)

@Bobby Bordeaux aah that was the word I was looking for 💎

@Jean Paul I'd agree with your first statement, also to reverse engineer the process, but focusing on quantity you're also working on your quality because the more you do the more you improve. Lil wayne and Kendrick have both said in interviews during their time in the trenches they used to literally write everyday, same for Jay-Z. This gets overlooked a lot by the mainstream population who generally think you're either born with it or not. A lot of the best artist you do it so effortlessly have put in mad hours, take Michael Jackson, he probably clocked the infamous 10k hours by the time he was in his mid to late teams.

@Jeff Craft agreed you can build quality from quantity because it provides you with experience.

Hi Blessing, welcome to the fold, I'm a rapper, producer and vocalist en herb, can't wait to see how you progress👊🏾

I think it could be good for artists, if done right, and Spotify would need to be extremely transparent on who they're partnered with.
