Foreign Hip-Hip

Hip-hop is very lyrically intense. And even though that lyrical intensity is one of the elements that attracted me to hip-hop in the first place, sometimes you just wanna delve into the MUSIC and tune out what is being said. Foreign Hip-Hip is great for that. It really gets you to focus on the musicality of it all. All you musicians out there, know just how important this is in perfecting your craft.

I've always been really into French Hip-Hop, as well as German, Afrikaans, and some spanish, but about a year ago, I discovered Dogmother. I was amazed to find such a beloved Greek female rapper. If any of you know the music scene in Greece - you'd know what I'm talking about. However, as I listened to her music, it was obvious that there was just no denying her skill. Her music is off the chain! She has a killer flow and the downbeats she chooses for her instrumentals are Dopalicious! If you haven't explored the world of foreign hip-hop yet, I recommend you pop your cherry with Dogmother.

Here is one of my favorites:


You don't even need to understand what she is saying to grasp the aesthetics of this song, but after you hear it and you wanna know SOME (I don't understand Greek, entirely) of what she's saying, give me a shout. The lyrics are dope, too!
